DISCLAIMER: I am making several posts that all start out the same and LOOK like they might be cross-posts but are actually different questions. I did check with management to make sure I wasn't breaking any rules.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
I do gravel driveways, mainly repair/reclamation. Not asphalt, not concrete, just gravel.
But I've had to turn away work for not having the capability to do certain things "in-house".
Stuff like putting in culverts or stripping away significant amounts of grass and topsoil to install a brand
So I decided that during the off-season I would buy some equipment.
I am also going to pick up my CDL because I need a more versatile license, but that's only for background.
Also, I already have a Kubota 3031 with FEL, but it's dedicated to a specific task and putting a backhoe on the 3-point hitch is not really a good option.
The list of equipment I figure I need is as follows:
I give that information so that anyone answering my question can see the context of the question
FORUM RELEVANT QUESTION(S):
I looked at some equipment yesterday, one of which is a GEHL 4625SX. I think it's a 1992 and it has 1740hrs on it.
It's not pretty, but it seems solid, starts up like it was running 10 minutes earlier and seems completely functional.
It is a full cab model, has tracks on it in good condition and comes with a trailer and several attachments: The mounted bucket, a set of pallet forks, a trencher, post hole drill, rock rake w/scarifier and a trash grabbing sort of a thing that has thumbs on top.
The guy wants $14,000 for it.
Good price, bad price...?
Things I should look for that I wouldn't know?

The list of equipment I figure I need is as follows:
- An Excavator: Something in the 70hp range, give or take. Culvert installation and similar work would be typical
- A Skid Steer: Not sure what power range is smartest.
- A Trailer: Ideally should be able to carry a payload of about 18,000-20,000lbs. Must be Bumper-Pull, not 5th Wheel/Gooseneck because I would intend to
pull it with the dump truck. - A Dump Truck: Something in the 5-ton load range.
