Congrats, you'll love that thing!

Nice. Didn't want to go bigger?

I was tempted, no doubt. But, we put the 91 and 71 side by side, and determined the 71 was perfect. This is for my personal use and not to haul around making money with. In that case, I would have definitely gone with the 91.

I'd love a U55

Did you get a thumb? If not I highly recommend it.

Very nice setup!

Very nice. I'm sure you will enjoy it. I suppose you have a 3-year backlog of tasks to get moving on. I have a KX41 (4000lb) that I got to replace a tractor-mounted backhoe and its much more powerful, capable. I think the KX71 (6300lb) would be just right for my uses. I'm envious!

Yes, and a ripper tooth for stumps, and a 36 inch grading bucket.
