the kabota is really unstable unless on flat ground. i worked at a rental yard years ago and they quit renting them because of the continued episodes of renters (see beginner) rolling them over on their sides.

what are you looking to do? dig trenches, what an excavator/backhoe is best for, or move some dirt and do some grading? if the latter you really want a skiploader with a bucket in the front and a gannon box in the rear. you will need to get it deliverd, and it will prolly be a CASE unit as they are the easiest to learn quickly as desired by rental yards.

an excavator or backhoe are great for digging trenches, but have their limitations when it comes to grading. tracked equipment is best for hilly terrian. have fun with it, ive operated some equipment, familiar with a lot from past and current employ, what you'll find is about the time you get good you're done.

and good luck staying off the news cast...
