New E60 Excavator

[turbo36]

After four surgeries in the past three years, I can’t lift or run a shovel anymore. Decided to get a little help!

 

[LittleBittyBigJohn]

Ooooh, fancy! I would love to have one.

Heck of an upgrade from a shovel ! Enjoy !

Nice...darn nice.

Very nice. What's on the list to get done with it?

First up is clearing out overgrowth from 5 acres at my pole barn site, after that I will dig up the ”stump dumps” behind the main house.
Later this year I have a new pole barn project followed by a new lake house with a huge amount of rock work.

Very nice - congratulations. Did you get any extra buckets with it?

They make amazing machines. I get all my rentals from Bobcat and I am always impressed with their machines. Congrats!!

 E60s are strong for their weight. Friend runs one for his business. I have Komatsu a PC75UU2.

The biggest one I have rented was an E52 and was very impressed with it capabilities. And I even think they dial the power back on them a little bit as rentals.

Wow, that's a lot of machine. Looks like you have a nice stable of automobiles as well. Congrats!

What lake are you building on? I'm really jonseing to grab a lakefront parcel and start saving for a cabin build myself. Something close to Traverse City / Sleeping Bear would be ideal. But the income to expense ratio just isn't quite there yet.

The E60 is on my list of things to purchase in the next year. First and foremost is a CTL / Compact Track Loader / Skid Steer (tracked).

I really like Bobcat, and my friend owns a Bobcat / Kioti dealership up in VA. I can rent Mini / Compact Excavators locally, so the CTL is my first purchase. After running an E60 for a bit, I'm sold on it. Such a powerhouse for it's size!

I really like the Bobcat Track loaders, if money was no objective I would put one in the barn as a conversational piece

That’s a beauty of a excavator, congratulations I’m sure you’ll love it.
I must not be far from your place, I live down Hanel Rd off of Elk Lake Rd about 2 miles south of Elk Rapids.
I was actually out on my excavator today, pulled half dozen old cherry trees. Crazy weather

Hey, I think I know that property. Is that the old Morrison Farmstead?

Yeah my mother who just passed maiden name was Morrison , Our farm is right across Elk lake road from my cousin Mark Morrison. Our place is called Seven Gables Farm, we have the small country gift store called the Granery. Is that picture of Elk lake you posted looking at the narrows between Elk and Skegomog lakes? Small world!
