My CAT has buried a few stray dogs when they are caught chasing my ducks or geese. One scoop and a dog is gone.

I was in the club for 10 years. Bought a Komatsu 1992 PC220 LC that really had nothing wrong with it. The boom cylinders barely weeping bugged me so I rebuilt them. Had to replace a few hoses. They are tons of fun for a while and then they turn into work. 40 grand went a long way on my new tractor but there are many days I miss that big machine.

A mini is great and easy to move, but a bigger machine works circles around it. Your rig is a really nice size. It big enough to do real work and not obnoxiously huge. My father had a Komatsu PC150 that was the bee's knees!

Had to replace a hydraulic line in the middle of the machine. Had a mechanic do it. It was a bear. Took him 2 trips and 6 hours to get it back in there and not leaking. Glad I did not fool with it. It was in a bad spot and I did not want any part of it. That puts me 6K now in the machine minus oils and fuel. Other than that, it is still going strong

. Hope to get everything cleared before anything major need fixing.

Main uses are digging out pine trees and old stumps and tending the fires. Excavators are AWESOME for tending a a fire.

Really nice unit. From a homeowners standpoint that is quite BIG.
