Backhoes involve very high capital investment. If you can’t afford the up front cost, or won’t use it’s depreciation to your advantage, it’s a lot cheaper to just hire some guys to dig a ditch.
Except that paying would-be ditch diggers what their work is worth is illegal (but you can pay a backhoe and it’s owner that price).
