Purchased From : Cahaba Tractor

Strengths I purchased the machine to dig soil bores, water line, bush hog 40 acres, scrap driveways, till garden, move brush and everthing else. I have remote hydrics on top, side link and front.The machine does everting i ask it to do and more. So far after 2 years very satisfied.

Weaknesses The three point hith arms are the most time consuming part to changing from bachhoe to emblements. I wished a Plate with the lift arms and sway bars could be hooked up just like the backhoe is. wished I had a thumb on backhoe.

Overall Very pleased

Price Paid : $46,200.00
Years of Use : 2+ Years
Implements : 4 in one bucket, 8 foot york rake, thumb on hoe
Purchased From : chappel tractor

Strengths have had this machine for 2 plus years...an amazing machine for its size....will remove large boulders, stumps, and will even dig 9-10 feet with ease......very easy to operate......dependable...and very simple to maintain...good turning radius

Weaknesses side swing on backhoe maybe a little weak... with the fuel fill on top of the hood makes fueling a little difficult but not really a big deal...

Overall a super machine......i would not hesitate to reccommend this piece of equipment to anyone...it will do anything you might want to do and then some.....buy it !!!...you will not be sorry you did !!!
