I haven't got into the Hobby yet but, researching to find out the best route.
You guy's certainly have a lot of cool trucks and equipment, I am very Impressed!!
Currently I am looking at the chinese models, but I have found them very difficult to buy, for peace of mind with my money? Looking at the excavator and 8x8 armageddon, from RC4WD.
Do you guy's have any suggestions? I like quality, and I know europe Models have very detailed equipment, but I think I want start out with lesser quality first. I do want hydraulics, metal, and RTR. Been looking for used , but it seems they are hard to come by?

Well the China company is getting better with its reliability in their models, but it still seems a crapshoot whether you'll get one that works reasonably well from the start or plagued with numerous problems.

Fumotec aint so high on detail, but being lazer cut steel & powerful hydraulic systems makes them mid range priced at 5-6K per kit (assembly required) and a whole lot of BANG for your buck! If you seriously didn't want to build it yourself, then I'm sure some one (probably not far from you either) would put it together for a reasonable cost & just for the sake of the enjoyment of the build as well. But really they are quite simple to put together, if you have any mechanic abilities at all.

I'm sorry I can't help with the construction equipment questions; I run the tractor-trailers.
