I have sandy soil and saw palmettos. I want the palmettos OUT. I want to hear them scream.(After you dig them out and try to burn them they are rude enough to SPROUT !!)I am thinking on a Boomer with loader and backhoe. What size Boomer and implements would ya'll suggest? How much is this going to bite my wallet? I'm in central Florida. I also want a blade, rotary mower and post hole digger.Thanks.

Justine, if you are in central Florida there are lots of Air Bases around, have you considered a small thermonuclear device? Palmettos are about the second worst thing to try and get rid of. I had to clear a large area of them in the building of a golf course two years ago. Not fun at all. Relatively easy though. The re-growth is luckily not my responsibility, it's the turf maintenance dept's headache. As for prices, shop around, including some of the out of state dealers (most that I have noticed advertising here on the 'board' seem to have pretty good prices). Also remember that if you buy a 'northern' tractor it will probably have a LOT less hours per year on it, so it will look more expensive, but iss really a better deal in the long run. Best of luck. ....
