The excavator works great and has been at my home doing few hours of irrigation installation work each month during the last 6 years. The bucket is 16 inches and the blade is 57 inches. Great Diesel engine. Low hours. Easy to transport. Can check it at the house. Try it, dig with it, and if you like it, make an offer. Equipment is located in North San Diego, California. Any question call my Cel at 1-760-585-5592 (6:00AM to 10:00 PM, Pacific Time), or e mail at newacct375410@aol.com
