Dunno what it is about a backhoe but I’m the last guy to get one on our street. Every second person has one. We live on a street of either 3 or 5 acre lots. I was never interested in one but this one jumped in my lap and my wife said “buy it !” I got back on my quad and told my neighbor and the rest is history. Btw he upgraded to a newer one.
Other than a saw i'd say my truck. I work it hard and it comes back for more as seen in the pics here.
Let's see, brain, next would be the splitter as my aim stinks. After that would be the F250 (Tippy) and the Tommy Lift. Very handy when needing to move heavy things and not just firewood. Highly recommended to anyone who can find one. Been several used and new ones on FBMP lately at nice discounts over new.
