Planted some trees on the hillsides using the backhoe, spread 5 yards of compost on the garden, unloaded some building materials with the forks. Saved my back a whole lot of extra hassle and pain!

I now have almost 14 hours on the BX23S.

I used the grapple to clean up some trees I cut, took it to the in-laws and dug up some shrubs and a large starting to rot pine tree stump.

Then yesterday I made the mistake of thinking I was going to quickly remove 8 holly shrubs that were about 9 feet tall and 27 years old. Their roots never end. I am having to dig down about 3 feet, then use a saw to cut the one giant root they all seem to have. I had one of the stumps broke loose and spinning it around in circles with the back hoe. The remaining root would just not let go.

I have 4 out so far. About to go out and try to finish the rest.

Gotta keep the dead people from popping out of the ground! :eek:

Been working here 27 years now, planting over 1,700 souls in that time. I think I have the problem narrowed down; I'm either planting them to deep, or to far apart.

Yeah, I know, graveyard humor, sometimes the only thing that keeps me goin'.

I have an old maple stump about 4 feet across, with two younger 1 foot stumps on each side. I have dug down 4+ feet, cut every root I can find, and I can't budge the stupid thing. And that's not with my little Kubota - I had a friend here recently with a huge Volvo grader and 1" cable and the thing only shifted a 1/2". Granted, we didn't shock load it because it is too close to the house and I don't want to damage anything, but it will need to be ground down.

Good morning waiting for the delivery of my Kubota l 175 today 2300.00 bucks 1100 hours. Seller wouldn’t let me drive it home. He’s a 1/2 mile down the road. They have a trailer and yeah people just don’t slowdown around here. 1st job will be to move some snow. After a oil change. Seller said he did filters and fluid last spring. Safe then sorry right ?

Ok, that's interesting. Once you hand the man the money and have a bill of sale in your hand, he has no more power over what you just bought!

I sold a tractor year before last. A man brought a younger friend with him to check it out. They got all their questions answered, we traded paper....and the young man headed out. Had about 7 miles to get where they were going!

I think he's being concerned about your safety. Just have to set back and wait.

Welcome to the forum!
