I assume you don't mean the type of missile you launch at your enemies.
I googled for "underground cable missile" and I'm directed to an article
about some kind of pneumatic hammer/boring thing. Is that the correct
device?

I think a missile is more useful than the small drill attachments.

We have an older maxi sneaker and pretty happy with it. They are
somewhat tippy as Chuck stated but if you get the dual tires they help
a lot. Ours has been rolled down into a ditch once with no damage. Any
of these machines will tip if you do something stupid.
The LM42 I see used a lot by drop guys around here, it's also an
articulated machine so quite maneuverable as is the Maxi Sneaker. We
can plow a drop in through moderately heavy woods and usually can find
a way to fit through the trees. The 410SX I don't think is as
manuverable as the articulated machines.
I would recommend getting one with the trencher attachment and the
drill/bore attachment. We use both fairly regularly. Having a
digger/excavator is handy but I'm not sure I'd want one on my customer
drop machine. I would recommend a separate mini excavator if you need
one that much.
That maxi you sent the pic of has been repainted so you can't see what
model, but the control levers are the newer style. I'm not sure how new
exactly but ours are early 80s machines and they have the older control
lever style.

I'm trying to decide what make/model of plow to get. The options, as
I see them, are the Vermeer LM42, Ditch Witch 410SX, or Case Maxi
Sneaker. I'll be using this for customer drops as well as some
main-runs.
I like the mini excavator attachment for the LM42, although I don't
know how limiting this will be for the machine if I'm also using it
for customer drops. The drill attachment for the 410SX also seems
like it could be useful.
Anyone have experience with these machines? Recommendations?
Also, does anyone know what model of Case Maxi Sneaker this is?
