Couldn't resist. I have too much work to rent, but not really enough to own. - You only live once I guess. In my area finding a good clean used machine seems pretty tough. Most have 1500+ hours for around the same as what I paid. Unfortunately the owner of this one passed away after only 54 hours of use. My BX25 is great, but it cant hold a candle to this when it come to digging or moving anything heavy. So far I am glad I did not go bigger ( or smaller.) I love owning a trackhoe!

Nothing beats being able to rotate 360 while working . Beats a backhoe any day . Thumb is another plus . A guy asked me why a thumb is nice . Told him try drinking your coffee without one ! Nice machine .

Very nice, good purchase. I would have made that purchase and don't really need a track hoe.

Congrats on the purchase. Nothing beats an Excavator for the tasks it's designed to do!!!!

Congrats on the super CLEAN U25. I love mine. Wish it were as pretty as yours, though.

About that Super Clean part..... She wasn't on site for more than 30 minutes when I manage to splatter mud all over it, myself, and the cab. :D

I said it before, and I will probably say it too much, I LOVE having a Hoe. Its not like I didn't know how handy they are, but when you actually have one at your disposal its incredible what you can come up with. I am amazed at how well it works just to take that RR tie and scrape it across the ground. It works so much better than the new landscape rake I just bought for the BX that I am considering selling it. I needed to make some swails to drain the pasture. The pictures are when I just started. I would dig very slightly with the bucket, and then walk parallel to the ditch and slope with the RR tie. It works pretty darn good for a hack operator!
