I have been wanting one of these for a very long time. Then at the right place, the right time, and the right price I brought it home. Needs a little work but it should be fun and should lift anything I want.
Hey Wildwest. The weather has cooled down over here to around 64* how you doing in your neck of the high plains.
I have another tractor here with a loader on it but I had some large pieces that it strained to lift and move. No longer an issue.
I was used to a 4 stick...but our new hoe has the joysticks...it is easier to get proficient with, and then faster/smoother once you do. (IMO)
I'll date myself-the last time I used a hoe it was stick controlled- pilot controls had just started to become available and my father and later my brother stuck with levers until the early 2000's.
