Used Backhoe

Posts Tagged ‘driveway’

I’m searching for a used (but perhaps new is better) compact tractor which I know must be a 4×4 but don’t know the first thing about what else to look before prior to purchase. I will need it to build a new driveway, dig a small pond, make a pad for a shop/garage, and much more. I believe I would like a backhoe attachment also. I have to many questions to ask here so if someone who REALLY knows tractors (like I know dirtbikes) can help please email me and I will list all my questions and would appreciate your advice so much prior to spending many thousands. Thank You.

i live in a subdivision where each house has at least 10 acres of land. I’ve lived here for a little over 5 years. About two years ago our neighbor started building his house, no problems. last year before summer vacation. he took his backhoe and started to cut trees down on my (parent’s) land. now this is key he did this WITHOUT MY PARENT’S PERMISSION!!! also we have another neighbor who used our driveway because he lives behind us and has no other way out. anyway i don’t believe that the neighbor cutting trees asked this neighbor. if that makes sense. in other words he just started cutting trees down on his own with no permission. anyway he finished connecting his land to my driveway. so there is a pathway from my driveway to his land. why? obviously to use my driveway. i don’t understand this because he already has a driveway, why use mine? my parents have sent him a letter a loooong time ago no response. we’ve put yellow caution/do not enter tape in the middle of the pathway. and he has cut through them twice. the second time was actually yesterday. i did not see him do this but who else would. my parents have talked with another neighbor who said at least 5 feet of land from our driveway is ours. so in other words he could cut trees down all he wants until he gets 5 feet from our driveway. Can we sue him? or at least do something where the law will take care of this because the yellow tape sure as hell isn’t. i honestly don’t know what to do because it is up to my parents but i would really like to see what you have to say. hopefully some suggestions and personal experiences will help me and my parents take care of this situation. Thank you.
Wendy: we talked to one neighbor. that’s hardly gossip.plus he’s already been in trouble with the county. now that the whole neighborhood know. i honestly don’t think he’s innocently cutting trees down.
however thank you all for your quick responses. hopefully my parents will call an attorney after i show them this. thank you.

Looking to remove asphalt driveway. About 3-4″ thick. In good condition. Can I use a jackhammer to break it up into pieces and remove into a dump truck or need a backhoe?
