So far...no one said I shouldn't buy one .
OK...let's all be 100% honest here. Just fun food for thought. Suppose someone says they'll give you either a brand new KXO80-5 OR a Porsche 911.
Choice?

Id take the hoe over the Porsche. Really, there are a Lot of things id take over a Porsche.

Me too!

Even worse than a sports car would be a fancy boat! My Dad had two boats, not even very fancy ones. And we always joked that they were holes in the water into which he poured money.

Id take a Mako Pro Skiff 15, with a 4 stroke Honda, 60hp, and bimini top, over the Porsche.

Can a Porsche help you make firewood?

 

[Fuddyduddy1952]

Thanks guys! I'm showing all this to the missus!
Actually...she'd be fine with it as long as she could operate it! I can see the grin now!

My teenage stepson and wife can operate mine/ours. Usually grinning I sometimes have a scowl cuz I'm usually doing all the.non mini x manual labor.

Don't expect to push things around with the blade, it is not a bulldozer, I was disappointed when I thought I could plow a short driveway and the tracks just slipped.

However; having said that, GO FOR IT, they sure are handy to have around.

I talked the wife into a backhoe, when we bought our Kubota L3800. It's not an implement I use often, but it's sure the heck appreciated every time I use it. It has paid for itself, digging a hole for a tornado shelter (saved me $2500), buried 3 dogs, 2 horses and a donkey. I just used it the other week to dig some pipe-aways for some downspouts. I'm certainly too dang old to dig holes manually in our black clay soil.

I'll use it again at our new place for planting some trees, then I think I'm done with it.
