Nice traqctor there--do you do lawn care/landscapping for a living?

 

Thanks
No, I have a construction business a Buddy and I just started. BUT we have 2 trees to take down for a guy and we have an addition to do a year from now where I can dig the footers and grade things off now with this. We have an electric line to trench out up state and a "swail" do dig out there also.
Many uses for this thing, sidewalks, patios, snow removal, And pretty much moving things around and not breaking our backs.

 

I had the same tractor with FEL/BH. Sold it to a friend after his prolonged begging and guilt. Very capable machine, I liked it a lot. He's had it for years now, and other than a new starter, it's been trouble free for him also.

Congrats, hope it gives you many years of service.

Thanks,
After only 4 hrs on it "cleaning up the yard" I'm loving it.

I do want to freshen up the paint a bit.

It's going to be put to work next week thanks to the rain this week, we're taking 2 trees down my business partner found for us.

We have an electric trench to dig and it's rented for a day to the guy with the 2 trees. 😁 I've had it a week and it's starting to make money.
BUT it's saving my back and that's what I care about.

 

Saving my back.

 

I gotta tell you that I'm so happy you got that! Knowing that you have back problems this will be the best thing you could have gotten to keep being "productive" without causing any back pain.

 

Well seeing as how this old girl has been stored and only got used 2 to 3 times a year we had some troubles with all the work we gave her.
She blew a steering hose, and the steering hub got loose. BUT it's all fixed now and we are planning to put new hoses on the backhoe as they are getting "crispy".

But we started cleaning off the neighbor's English walnut tree he's taking down. That thing is all but 4' across at the base. We were doing wheelies with nothing in the front hauling this one.

 

mopar65pa,

That thing lifts more than I expected, those are some heavy chunks of wood.

Take care of it and it will take care of you.

Oh yeah, I know it's not a Deere but dang gone it's a mule. I plan on new hoses for the backhoe and whatever hoses it needs.

The FEL is not what I would like, so we will look into that. It may be low fluid or just the valves we will see.
I'm looking to get a "single" stick to operate the FEL. The old owner has one BUT says he's not sure it will work.
I think the FEL has a valve back flow problem with the lift not the bucket.
