Is the backhoe loader a thing of the past?

not mine

That didn't need to be said - I've seen your welds!

My Backhoe was busy this morning clearing an overgrown gateway that I needed to clear to allow a lorry in to empty our cess pit next week, it certainly made light work of it, I would not be without my Terex 860

If you ever sell her I want dibs

Looked at a case today...... Bucket is half the size

I thought you had that white one did you move it on ! TBH I don’t use it that much but it is such a nice machine I got it off the original owner operator who had it from 2007 until I got it in 2022 he really looked after it too.

Which Case were you looking at 580 or 590 the 580 floors rot out and the cabs are quite small, I have never had one I did have a 590 power shift with servos that was a nice machine.

Always quite fancied buying a tidy old Case 580/590k or L as a bit of an occasional use machine/toy,they always looked solid machines to me.

Never seen one of these in the flesh. Looking at the photo of the back end, looks like QH on the hoses. Must make replacements a lot easier?

As you know id like to add a 6t dumper- the 3t is the weak link, i always look at where I could save time make life easier on our jobs and 3t to 6t is about all thats left i reckon ...apart from me getting better which is definitely possible.

Spend 100k+ these days and it'll rust. So not sure what he expects for 5k
