Had as much fun on the little backhoe as I do on my Komatsu PC 200. Nothing like playing with toys.......Did the last 2 years of yard projects in one evening.

Pictures look great. When you have had a little time on it, we would love to hear details about the backhoe.

That's a nice machine, thanks for posting the photos.

Do you happen to know how long it is with FEL and BH and how wide it is with the stabizers up? Just wondering how much space it uses when stored in a garage and how wide a gate it needs to get the stabilizers through without taking them off.

Spd,

Looks like the Komatsu has a nice new little brother. Let us know how he works out!

Total lenght with bucket on the ground is about 176 inches. The FEL is 50 inches wide and the backhoe with outriggers up is 60 inches wide. The backhoe works great. It is so handy being the small size it is. There are lots of tight places it can get into and work that something else can't and it also doesn't track up a yard like an excavator would. Handy as a pocket on a shirt.

Thanks for the extra data. Much appreciated. Yes, a small BH on a CUT is a terrific thing to have. You look at your yard in a whole new way -- you suddenly see flexibility where there was none before. That is, just because that bush is in the way at the moment doesn't mean you have to change your plans. You just move it. Cool Beans.

I am *so* envious - I am currently trying to talk the little lady into allowing me to get the 260 for my 2305, but that can be a somewhat daunting task especially since we are about to break ground on a 1800' house addition.

Thanks for the pictures

Did you get the independent lift for the MMM? Have you had the BH off yet? Have you tried to reattach the 3PH? I am still on the fence as to which little machine to get. Your little green machine looks great.
