I’m in the market for lightly used excavator

Good for the second S in SSS! (if ya know what I mean...)

 

SSS
Acronym meaning chit, Shave & Shower. Order of words vary depending on the preferences of the user.

You want me to shave brenndatomu?

 

There was a lot of that where I grew up. If the drought gets bad and the swamps dry up too much there are likely to be many surprises.

 

That's is nice, you'll be able to do lots of work with that. What about your AC/heat?

 

You got to go bigger to get one with a/c and I thought they were too big for my needs and frankly I couldn’t afford one. I can always trade in and get a bigger one if needed!

 

In tracked skid steers that I’ve been looking at, the difference between open canopy and enclosed with heat a/c seems to be $10,000-$15,000 on used machines

 

We have a cab model skid steer at work with heat with no a/c, it’s brutal in the summer even with the door off.

 

Im gonna get one of these for winter and rainy days. I’m gonna get a heated vest to stay warm in the winter also.

 

Sweet machine! Please keep us posted on how you like it!

 

Nice machine. My BIL has an excavating company and swears by Kubota excavators and skid steers. I think he has 3 or 4 of each now.

 

I’ve been buying Kubota’s lately, they seem to be good quality. They make good engines as well, lots of other brands use them. I have a dealer 10 miles from me which is great.
They are delivering my excavator Thursday morning, my patience is wearing thin!

 

Remember to pry yourself out of the seat now and then upon delivery for pictures for your enablers

 

I’ve already scheduled the 50 hour service for next week!

 

Until you get the "feel" for the capabilities - especially a loaded bucket over the side and at the full reach, use your seat belt Jack.
I rented a little guy for some inside work building my shop burying some conduit, my first time with one that small and found its limitations pretty quickly.
I believe that your machine is much bigger than the one I almost upset, but a day or two wearing the belt isn't a bad idea.

 

I wear a belt almost all the time...stuff happens, and its WAY worse when you fall out!

 

There's a pretty awful example of this floating around on YouTube although I'd call it 100% very poor operator error and judgment.

 

I finally got the excavator, I dug up 2 stumps! It’s starting to pay for itself!

 

It's actually a great time of year for pulling stumps. They get stubborn come summer.

 

There was so much water in the hole I thought it would float out.
