Is it me or does the Rhino look sad?

Yeah found out the FEL Hydraulics were just as powerful when the hood was flipped open. I did a nice job of crushing the sheet metal after doing an oil change.

It looked better after applying some of my car learned body/paint work

Today it took a beating Brush cutter over all kinds of wood and bushes. I finally stopped and got the industrial backhoe to continue.

Yes, it is. I HATE envy talented people!! 👍
Talented all right, at breaking things. Was doing a little job after the trail clearing and the backhoe swung over no longer connected. I did catch a tree in the trail clearing with the backhoe... Complete chain is about $970 through Messick's and the little 5/8" x 2 5/16 pins are each $41.60.
Ordered four through hardened steel alloy pins for $38 off ebay.

obviously need to keep replacing hoses as well.

Onward through the fog. :) for today just going to machine whatever I have laying around so it isn't stuck sitting where it is.

OOPs.

Ouch!

McMaster-Carr has a variety of chain parts, but I've never tried to find one for a backhoe. That hose on top of the hinge looks like it has had quite the life to me but I'm miles away...

All the best,

Peter

Talk about a bummer.
Backing my FIL's car out of the driveway I had the drivers door open and looking over my right shoulder to back up. I forgot about the tree next to the driveway until it made contact with the fender.
