Is the backhoe loader a thing of the past?

[Stroppymonkey]

Do you know how many hours it's done and what year?

Maybe 2010? Maybe 6000 hours? Wouldn’t quote me on that though. I know it’s newer than his last one which was a 58plate

The temptation is palpable. But I have a feeling I'd be echoing @doobin post above in 6 months time!

I thought he wanted offset?

It's also nearer 9 ton in reality

Only one way to find out

Is it on servos?

Is it on servos?

I think it is.

 

[doobin]

To be fair. I know I wouldn't use a backhoe loads. But those jobs where I want the 8 tonner but really doesn't warrant the hassle of transport etc...

I’d have thought on your rocky ground it might be pretty handy.

Definitely is.

This is like the OPPOSITE of an intervention

So when have we all got to convince ourselves we need another backhoe in our lives .

Can you run a backhoe on red if agri work does anyone know?

Can't see why not

Yup, I’ve only ever done farm work with mine so far.

To be fair it is a great all round machine for a farm, but I’m not a farmer.

Why don’t you come for a holiday and to put some hours on mine? Would be nice to finally meet you.
