Congrats on the new ride. I could find lots of uses to play with that...

Nice "Vacker Neusom", I'm gonna look for a 3.5 - 5 ton before I retire, since all I got is a 2500 class pickup.

I can’t believe you wasted your money on that. Yesterday I was talking to someone and you can get brand new ones on Amazon for about $6k.

Maybe it's time for an excavator section here.

I owned 2 different backhoes over a span of about 25 years.
Rented many an excavator.
Now I’m an owner.
I can see me spending an entire day of each week finally addressing things that needed to be done
Unexpected:
The long arm on this one takes some getting used to compared to extendahoe.
Ground speed is rather slow compared to backhoe.
Can’t believe a 13 year old machine with working AC and no broken glass lol
Very quiet
Pretty powerful- picked up some Barco-lounger sized boulders from below ground up that were crazy heavy.

Hay Dude won't be seen again on TBN, he will have too much fun on the excavator.

Nice machine. Get the hydraulic thumb. It's worth every penny. I have used mine countless times picking up random junk around my Daughter's new place.
