Another 'Should I Buy It ' thread.

[Diggin It]

I've got some dirt to move around my couple acres and the bucket on my little blue guy doesn't carry much in one load.



But then I saw this today and .... well ....

You should buy 2 of them.

I‘m sure your tahoe could pull it on the single axle trailer.
Just make sure you get the “class V load distributing hitch”

 

[dodge man]

Of course you’ll need a pretty good sized excavator to load it also. I’ve been on a couple of earth moving projects where they used these. They can make some huge ruts, like 3 feet deep, and still keep chugging along.

 

[ovrszd]

Also need this.

 

[tacticalturnip]

I'm under the impression that not only do you need one, but I need one as well. As do many of those here with us.

Why do you hate fun?

 

[Jstpssng]

If you have to ask then the answer is always yes.

Why do you hate fun?

It's more to see if he has me on his ignore list, which I asked him to do.

I know what I'm doing...

I’ve been on a couple of earth moving projects where they used these.

We've got a couple of quarries here that are close to a mile to the bottom of the pit. I'm pretty sure they can pay for them, without having to dig too deep .... into their bank accounts, that is.

Maybe Time to augment that LM 125 with a mid sized CUT and around a 1/2 yard bucket?

 

[MTGreen]

This one is more my size from a recent thread.

Looks tremendously useful -5k capacity, hydraulic dump, & seat reverses to go either direction
I want one

 

[lman]

Where you at? Could I borrow it? I'll fill the fuel tank---maybe.

Ugh those look like a ton of fun; the local Yanmar dealer had one sitting on the lot for quite a while, I loved it from afar lol.

 

[Hay Dude]

I looked at renting one. The dump beds are really small. Maybe 3-4 bucket loads. I realized it’d be easier to just drive the tractor with a full high capacity bucket.

Fun? Yep!

Few years back, an excavating company had something that would have been great for someone with a long gravel driveway. Looked to be about a half scale motor grader. I'm not sure the whole thing was 30' long.
