well, it's mine now

[m.t.hands]

after several "dry runs" and a lot of looking finally added this to the stable

L 3400 HST, R4's, FEL, and a Bush hog brand cutter

should be a good fit between my BX and the 5030

will be looking at a QA bucket upgrade, (currently pin on), hopefully a grapple, and a chipper/shredder soon

QA is the only way to go ! Should be 'standard equipment' !

I think I got a "Fair deal" the price was pretty good but it is going to have to have rear tires SOON but I kind of figured them in with the deal

I cannot imagine buying new and not insisting on QA, but local dealer had a bunch w/o, 2501's and even about 1/2 of their 3301's

Looks to be a nice, straight unit. Do keep in mind that the bucket is a material bucket (lighter weight) and not the HD excavation bucket. Easy to tell the difference. The HD buckets have a rounded top section, the material buckets don't.

yes it is the lightweight bucket, failed to mention I will be doing a different bucket too, and it was represented well in pictures, not beat up just normal wear/tear, looked at several that pictures were definitely the day the prior owner took possession, looked at a lot of beat up equipment, I was just happy to find one that everything was there and it appears it has been kept up pretty good
