Backhoe

Our external water pipe running from the meter (by the sidewalk) to our house burst, and one of the plumbers we talked to said they'd use a mole instead of a backhoe to replace our pipe. We would love to avoid having our yard dug up with a backhoe, but don't know what the mole is, or if it's a reliable option. The plumber also said he would run the new piping through the existing pipe (ie breaking the existing pipes along the way). THANKS!

A mole just digs from the side and is used all the time. Do you ever see a road crew laying line along the street? They use a backhoe but then like at an intersection when they are running lines across a paved street they don't want to dig up the asphalt so they use a mole. It's totally reliable. There is probably a cost difference but if you don't want your yard dug up then it's probably worth it.

I am not seriously going to work on it but I want to join a company selling backhoes and I just want to know a few basic things like how to work those levers etc. Can't find any book that tells the practical side of how to operate a backhoe.

if there is a vacant lot just go practice. all the controls are labeled you
just need to get the movements of the hoe down. driving is easy as
there is forward neutral and reverse basically

10,000 operating hours. All hydraulics work, 2 WD, Great Tires, No leaks, Runs good. If this turns out to be the worst backhoe but still runs how much would it be worth?

$10,000 is average.
