I agree also.  I built my own house, literally.  Started by clearing the land, which is mostly flat.  I used a number of machines over the time.  I made deals where I would do a repair, [like rebuild a cylinder or replace a couple hoses] then get to use it for a week +/- .   One was a Dynahoe 190.  When I also found out it was for sale, I bought it.  It is more powerful than any I had run.  It also cost less and was less worn out than the others.  I have moved rocks half the size of a small car.  Knocked 17" diameter at the base trees down with the hoe, which also removes the stump, in about 15 minutes, with more control than chainsawing them down the "normal" way.  For clearing 3 acres, I can't imagine using anything smaller.
