Thinking Of A New Toy For The Toybox
Worth it? I'm thinking of picking it up with a hoe attachment on the side.....just in case I get lonely.

Re: Thinking Of A New Toy For The Toybox
I can count the times I would have needed that on one appendage....but the machine is a very nice tool.
Those are great for some jobs ... fun to drive too....but it hurts the pride a little when you tip one....believe me. |

Never tipped, got close a time or two, but never tipped.........yet.......maybe I just haven't met a good waitress.

Re: Thinking Of A New Toy For The Toybox
Lookn on Ebay for equipment?
I could have used one of those with the hole digger at the end, for the last fence i did. Notice how I said last, because that fence will always be know as the last fence I did. As for the waitress, you must have some ugly ones by you to not deserve a tip. |

Re: Thinking Of A New Toy For The Toybox
There is a rental place by me that had a unit like this but it was a Bobcat brand.
I was driving from a job and within three hours there was this Bobcat on a trailer with the For Sale sign on it at the rental place. I went in to talk price, and it was already sold. They said it took a half hour to sell it, for 8,500. It was a sweet machine. Next time, I am going to go there and ‘order’ one and have them call be before they throw a sign on it. But I did walk out of there with a trailer for 1500 that I sold to a mason for 2200 the next day. |

Re: Thinking Of A New Toy For The Toybox
The hours is what I would look at first.
But I like those ..... they are easy to steal. My landscaper friend has his forst one stolen, that was the last time he left it on the job. But, that one looks nice, I guess. |

Foam filled baby, almost no tire problems.
Rented, bartered and used about everything on rubber, I'm rather familar with the tire issues, but thanks for the thought. Bob

Re: Thinking Of A New Toy For The Toybox
In todays age, nothing should be without a Lojack. I even have one on the trailer. $300 bucks worth of security I figure.
