You will find out that, Now that you have this unit, friends as never imagined.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha
so stincking true

Trust me - Even those you don't know will be trying to get you to do jobs for them for way less money than the last quote they got! Maybe not. Maybe that just happens here in California.

Have fun with your new toy but be careful on the hill sides.

Nice unit, I need one like that, what did you pay for it???????

I like those front wheel weights

Paid $3800 bucks and the engine runs like a top. A lot has already been improved on it. One of the nice things is that someone has added a Hydro pump on the front of the tractor (rather than the pump between the engine and transmission). The friggin hydraulics are strong! Re-ditching my driveway tomorrow.

As soon as you get the shovels out on the next project that $3800 will seem real cheap. A tractor with really good hydraulics is hard to beat. My dads friend has a kelly 3pt backhoe. That thing is a nutless wonder. I think the pto pump is a POS. Im sure it would work better if it ran off the tractors hydraulics.

There was a case industrial backhoe tractor on ebay not far from me and they guy had the backhoe on there and sold it for $500. I can kick myself now for not buying it.
