I looked up the 7020 on TractorData.com. Not much info regarding loader/backhoe/hydraulics specs. What little there was, along with 1 picture that I found, indicates that it is slightly smaller physically, less horsepower and slightly heavier (for the tractor alone) than my MF GC2310, the JD2210 and the Kubota BX25, which all have diesel engines. These are all SCUTs, sub-compact utility tractors. CUTs are a little bigger.
As a home owner, with or without acreage, a gas engine is fine. As a contractor, where fuel costs and service intervals affect the profit margin, fuel efficient and durable diesels make a lot more sense.
Check out the loader and backhoe specs on the above tractors and compare them to the 7020. For the 30' X 30' X 4' excavation, any of these tractors can do the job, given enough time. Reach and swing are the limiting factors for large area excavations for TLBs. The dirt has to be moved twice. For a contractor, time is money and you'll be further ahead renting an excavator. The rest of the intended tasks are within the capabilities of all of the above equipment.
There was less than 5 hours between your posts. Give us a chance. There aren't as many SCUT owners of all colours as there are for many GT brands. Check out the daily post count for John Deere SCUTs and GTs for comparison. It bugs us, too! But we've all learned to be patient. The info is there, it just takes a while for the right person to come on line.
