Depends--not all excavation equipment is created

pretty small.  And there are larger vehicles that are
still nothing but excavation equipment.

Huh?  I'd have a demo gun--which would take more

Look at the M88--it includes a good bit more capacity
than merely towing, yet it can tow an M-1.

Again, depends.  The typical mechanic vehicle is a
contact truck, which is a HMMWV, and used to be a
CUTV.
