Used 8 ton digger + would it be big enough for a saw blade?

I have enough work going forward to warrant buying an 8 ton digger. Work would mainly be ditching, reclaiming overgrown field edges and getting building sites ready. Where would I look for a machine, I'm in Cheshire?

Also could you fit a saw blade to an 8 ton machine?

Have used a Protech blade on a 5 ton machine with great success. When we purchased a shear we went for a larger host machine so we could tackle larger job.
