The 32,200 BTU evaporator installed on the roof . Just need to make a cover for the blower motors .

Should be able to bust a Stubbie on a hot day .

It just got a little more "creative" , I am on the hunt for a 2 ton excavator arm for the front of it . It will have a small tree shear on the end so I can snip trees off and feed them straight into a front mounted woodchipper on the machine . I will go through the paddock first with the chipper and then again with the mulcher to clean up the stumps and rubbish . Mulchers in general are too slow at processing whole trees . A chipper with 175hp driving it will chip them in seconds .

I will also be able to rake debris with the arm from tight places and direct it into the mulcher . The arm will also be able to run a small flail mower for mowing embankments etc .

And it just gets better and better.:thumbsup:

Today I bought a new backhoe off New Holland for a 55hp Boomer .

I couldn't get a small excavator at the right price so this will suffice . I will remove the stabilizer legs and use that function and the control valve sticks to drive the tracks . Servo/Pilot system hydraulics would have been good that the excavator would have provided , but this will do at a 20k saving .

May I ask. Why did you buy one new?? Around here you could get a good 3pt one that would be good to chop up and use for 3k. It would save alot more money. Or couldn't you find any?? Only reason why I don't buy one is cause a back hoe costs 6k and I don't have a tractor for one

Gees Reg, always the way , buy something then find it cheaper elsewhere. Yesterday on the job i'm working I came across a backhoe similar to the one you just brought. The farmer says "take it away" if i want it. :laughing:

To answer the last two posts . If I wanted to end up with a secondhand worn out piece of junk after I go to all this trouble , I would have used second hand worn out parts on it .
