It has been a great day! We did it!

Thanks for the congrats! My Bobcat has a backhoe. Can't be without one of them!



I purposely did not buy a full size TLB because I wanted something a little smaller for getting around in the woods better. This thing still has a lot more lifting capacity than my last agricultural tractor. Built differently for heavier construction work. Love it so far!



Can you tell I like it? LOFL

 

Gas that thing needs a thumb on the hoe and a grapple on the front and it'll be perfect!

 

I know concrete! I know already! Tell me something I don't know please! Like how I am going to pay for both of those things! LOFL. I can not even wait to get a grapple. The backhoe is set up with auxiliary hydraulics already and the front end loader has auxiliary hydraulics as well. It is just waiting for them both! Is there really a Santa Claus? Really?

 

Is it a skid steer or wheel?
That thing is SWEET!..Whad'ya pay if ya don't mind me axin???

 

It is driven with a steering wheel. It is all wheel drive and all wheel steer. It does not drive like a skid steer. Will not tear up the turf like a skid steer will. Another reason I went with it. It can get you from point A to point B in a much tighter turning radius and get you into and out of tighter places than a regular two wheel steer tractor/loader/backhoe TLB. They do not make them anymore. At least Bobcat doesn't sell them anymore. Ingersoll Rand may under a different model. I have not looked. It took me a long time to find the one I wanted. I am very glad I found it because I was getting ready to buy another larger, more powerful agricultural tractor or a full size TLB. $19,750 +tax and delivery. They had a Bobcat dealer maintain it and they had just had it serviced and a new set of tires put on it! That bill would have run around a $1000 just for the tires and getting them mounted! Should be a good machine for many years to come.

 

I gotta do more snooping on the site as i just seen this thread .. Sounds like a great place to call home Gas

 

I couldn't be happier Loon. I just installed a Pellet Stove in the camp the other day, just in time for the cold weather. It is working beautifully so far. All kinds of things to do to the property. But moving the current wood supply in under the porch is priority. Then start cutting next years supply!

 

You mean start cutting 3 years supply right???
