So some time next week this thing will be making its way to the farm

Sometimes you see a deal and you just need to jump on it

When you're done, bring it my way I need to scrape up some topsoil to put in a driveway.

JohnnyJ · May 6th, 2019, 09:07 AM

Should take about 15 minutes to make a driveway, eh?

14 minutes of it are turning that pig around.

Like using a sledge hammer on trim nails.

Move lots and Lots of dirt

I have a 8' tall, 30' wide, by 700' long, Dirt berm that I want to move

I have been warned a couple times that I need to get the house done ASAP buy the boss

Nothing is happening out back until it dries up back there

but when a deal like this comes along you need to jump on it

SHARPMACHINE · May 7th, 2019, 01:50 PM

Looks like a great deal. You could probably put a slow moving sign on it and get your money back at the scrap yard. lol

I also look forward to the berm moving project...

roll-bar Bob · May 7th, 2019, 02:28 PM

I am still kicking my self in the ass

for not going higher on this thing

I stopped a $3,800 I should have went to $4,000

when you find a deal you need to jump on it

RBB

aber61 · May 7th, 2019, 07:46 PM

That is one sweet rig. I have used these many times painting. Biggest cost would be moving it. But still a great rig as long as the hours are low.

ckupq · May 8th, 2019, 09:32 AM

The problem stopping at $4000 is someone would have "Ebay bumped" it to $4010

busyfixin · May 11th, 2019, 09:08 PM

This thing came from about three miles from home. I drove by it at least twice every day. I was hoping/not hoping my boss would buy it. He's been on a dirt moving mission the last three or four years. I've been telling him a pan is the right tool for the job for 80% of what hes been doing, but always blows it off. I told him about this one, but he didn't seem too interested. Which is stupid for him, vut goid for me, I don't want to work on it anyway!

busyfixin · September 17th, 2019, 08:32 PM

So, one of these showed up at the dealer here... what's the deal, did you sell it back to them? Did they end up with another one exactly the same? Did you move dirt and then trade it in on a new tractor?

Mine is at work at a buddy's farm, building a Jet boat practice track. With the rent he has already paid I could use about 6 more machines
