Big jobs often require big equipment. It can actually save a customer money to have their landscaper use an excavator for example. Larger-scale work like clearing, rock retaining walls, tree transplanting, foundations, and blackberry removal can all benefit by using an excavator and dump truck. The excavator clears away a building lot full of blackberries in a day or two, whereas a man, or team of men, will take a week or more. Luc does a lot of jobs with his excavator. Using an excavator also entails moving it from one place to another with a trailer and large truck and having a dump truck to load dirt, land waste, rocks and any other material that he may need to move. Luc's excavator is a medium size one that can fit into tight areas, leave smaller environmental impact and yet it can take good sized trees out, do lite clearing, and lift large rocks for retaining walls.

Excellent idea , utilizing smaller tractors is a great way to leave less of an impact on the environment visually,habitat wise, but also- the smaller the tractor more than likely the less fuel is burned.

Great job and all the best
