Solid Backhoe for $35K possible?

[GManBart]

So, I went near the higher $40k limit, and didn't get AC, but I'm pleased with the machine....2006 Super M with 2,770 hours, extremely tight hoe, hydraulic QA front bucket, QA 5' forks, really good tires, standard Case controls (3 stick), and a clean cab.

This is one of the dealer's pics....more to follow after delivery:

Well, the Tundra might be able to tow part of it Luckily, I have a neighbor with a 20T lowboy if necessary....but I hope not!

Yeah, the hydraulic QA with a set of forks pushed me over the edge. I was thinking of waiting until early Spring to buy, but I've been watching nice backhoes sell very quickly in the last month or two, and really, really wanted to have a set of forks on any machine I bought, so I decided not to wait.

I also noticed they had an extra set of hydraulic lines plumbed to the loader, and forgot to ask what they were for...might come in handy down the road for something like a grapple. Based off how tight the hoe is, I suspect this machine was used primarily with the forks, and some other front attachment...hard to say, but it doesn't really matter.

There there for whatever you need them for,
usually on these type of machines, there used for hydraulic hammers to break cement etc....

Yeah, that's sort of what I was guessing...maybe a hydraulic hammer. Either way, I'm happy it's there!

Nice looking machine. Hey, I am in the camp that says the Tundra can tow it - it towed the space shuttle, I seen it on tv...

I'm pretty sure a Tundra could tow it on level ground, but going up hills at anything other than a crawl, or stopping it going down hill at 65mph...maybe not so much!

Nice looking machine!! Surprised that a model as new as it is doesn't have AC.

That is some crazy looking bucket curl linkage, never seen one like that.
