    I would sincerely hope so.

    We don't find much need for it in the winters around here.

    Oh boy Jack Straw. I know a nice young lady who will love driving that thing!

    Do I get to try it out if I stop in again? Then I'll know what it is like with a cab.

    I'm thinking about putting the backhoe on ours today. Have one more stump to remove that is close to where the new barn is going. Also a few young witch hazel to get out of there. Would like to get that done before the stone mix and asphalt comes and that will probably come tomorrow.

    Yea, I believe I paid 8 something for mine. I need to price out plows. Nice to be able to go with different companies thanks to the ss quick attach. That'll be real nice in the winter!

    Keep us Posted on the plow shopping:). thewoodlands has a very nice one but as usual have a budget and a wife to answer to:)

    What kind of plow do you have Jack Straw ? If I eventually get one I would run it off the rear remotes for now to keep the cost lower:).

    I’m not sure who made it, it’s just an old plow someone mounted to a quick attach plate

    I'm starting to think that Kubota tractors are the official loader tractor of FHC! Am I the only one here that still doesn't own one?! ;) :hair: :rofl: :lol:

    Nice trak-tah Jack!

    They do come in very handy. I just came inside. I had put the backhoe on and dug a couple stumps plus some witch hazel then took it back off. I usually don't work on Sundays, or at least don't work much but I wanted to have that one stump gone soon.

    The hoes for Kubota mount easily.

    If you want to use the bucket, they do make some shoes for them so you won't tear things up. They are not expensive either.
