Hello from VA

Welcome aboard. I was also in your place about 3 months ago, Do I get a truck or a construction loader or dozer??? So I got the trucks first (4 of them). I have done a few bruder toys my self but nothing is like having a real hydraulic excavator. So I got one used for around $4900. It's a Leibherr 922, Like Dan said you could go with the HK excavator from the company he mentioned but I found it out of scale for my tamiya trucks and wedico low boy. The bruder toys work great for soft sand or dirt if you dig it out of the ground first, the plastic can break if you push it too much. I guess it's all about what you plan on using them for.
