Come on dude don't be so judgy. You have of the no idea of the circumstances. Homeless people are rarely the responsibility of their family. They more often than not have refused family help due to their mental issues. We have thousands of veterans and other folks from great families on the...

thanks for the replies folks. called to arrange to see the tractor yesterday and it was sold. no matter, i was leery of the hours. but old adage snooze you loose. (maybe?) interesting disc, though, on tlb. thanks

I don't know for sure but I'm guessing the "TLB" for purists is a backhoe machine put together with the intent of being utilized primarily for industrial excavation purposes and has beefed up connection points to the tractor part. In other words the yellow industrial machines from Case, JD, NH...

Disappointing search this year. Wanted to buy a new tractor WITH loader and backhoe. Researched Kioti, Kubota, and Bobcat. Finally decieded on a Bobcat CT-4540. Tried dealers all around. No one has any inventory or can promise any delivery date. Decided to try to find a DK- 4510 instead. Same...

Sorry for my imprecise verbiage. I was taking a shortcut. I used TLB for a Tractor with a loader and backhoe both frame mounted. My bad.

Thinking of taking a look. Seller wants 20K for a 3400hr machine. Shuttle tranny. Any thoughts on this many hours? Supposedly machine is solid but that's something I'll have to check out.

I've been looking for a few weeks and have not been impressed with the local Kioti dealers. I have a few bobcat dealers very close and you can tell their service areas are big machine area's. My kioti dealers seem to be dealers that just added kioti tractors to a trimmer, lawnmower, chainsaw...

Nice!

yeah i've had issues with them buggers before up here. took me months to figure out they chewed a wire to my ecm on my grand cherokee a few years ago. in my garage.

that's disappointing. after reading the info on their site i would have thought water intrusion would not be an issue. i just estimated a 35 x 50x 16 ft high on their site. $25k. without doors. i imagine my excavaton and gravel will be close to $15k. yikes!

what was the deal with your work lights? Just curious.

Yeah, I've goth 3 within 30 min. of me.

i hear you. Materials are getting crazy. I should have done this a couple of years ago, but I just decided to get a new tractor and am finally running out of room in the shed and garage!

thats a good idea. I'd do a gravel base for sure. I'll have to see what the excavation runs to see how i can finish it off. Thanks.

Hey thanks to all for input so far. Don't care about wood or metal but I expect metal buildings are less expensive. The fabric buildings are a good alternative to some folks but I need something more secure. And yes, I may need a bigger building, after some thought. I forgot that I had a 20 ft...
