    Congratulations, Gas. Nice tractor.
    I bet that cab is nice. Looks comparable to the L4802 we got. Kubota had the 0%/60 or 1.99%/84 when we got ours in April. We've got about 77 hrs on ours now.

    I have about 47 hours on the T474 now. Nice small rig for getting around in the woods trails and other tight areas.

    I have learned several times that you will be sorry when you sell your backhoe. They are so handy. Like today. My next work partner’s new (old) big brother had to step in and help out a little……. IMG_6885.jpeg

    I have heard so many people say that getting a backhoe is needless......just go rent one when you need backhoe work done! Heck, even every dealer I have spoken with over the years has told me the same thing.

    I can only think of how convenient it would be to just turn the tractor around once you need a hoe instead of stopping work and then going to rent one every 3-4 weeks.

    I have said this myself. And was going to do it myself. But having a machine this size around for both loader and backhoe work is so nice. This wasn’t too far away and the price was right, so I just bought it. It may be old, but it can still do some heavy work!

    If you can use a backhoe every couple of weeks then you are in the position where you would benefit from owning a backhoe
