Backhoe on the way

[KiotiJohn]

Finally! The pics are showing on Webshots. Here's the link. I apologize that I started this thread on buying/pricing, should have been on owning/operating. But for someone looking to buy a backhoe, this may answer some questions! Man did I rationalize that or what? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Of course, I'm also going to buy one of each model of Kioti Tractor too! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif John

I'm jealous. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I'm jealous.)</font> Yeah, know what you mean. I found myself being that way every time someone posted something about using his/her backhoe. I hope it won't be long for you guys who are waiting. John

I've been waffling between that and a tiller, and I think the tiller is going to win as I can use it for far more tasks than a disk. I won't have time to do a garden this year as I'm trying desperately to get all the properties in shape after years of neglect. I'm having a blast though and soon (I hope) you will too. There are some pictures of available implements on my Webshots page including a double gang lift disk if you'd like to see them. I haven't put up the pics of my own implements as of yet, the ones there are all on my dealer's lot. John

The backhoe looks great on the tractor! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif It sure looks like it makes quick work of the stump. If not too quick, at least fun! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I would just dig down far enough to get to where the "trunk" ends, and the big underground roots begin, cut those off and fill the hoe back up. But I DID have a lot fun learning that! John

Hey John,
Great pics, What the heck is that white stuff? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif are you digging in a sand box? It looks like ash tray sand. where's all the black dirt and rocks and ledge and stuff that make digging miserable? I wish we had easy digging like that up north.
Good luck and enjoy, you've been very patient.
