I Own A John Deere!!


Well I didn't think I would do it but I finally bought one of those.

We needed something just to finish up and it was a good deal.
The other picture is an H3B Akerman a 19,000 lb machine I just bought. (It was delivered while I was down at Joe's house looking at all the great work he's done remodeling his houe. I met his wife and she's very nice. You'd never think she'd be married to Joe.) You might be able to see the tip of the ripper tooth and The end of the 12" trenching bucket that came with it. There is also an articulting grading bucket with it.

Hopefully they will make a little money.

It would have been nice if I attached the pictures the first time and then in the right order.

Nick,
That "Old Girl" (JD350) have a seat belt, cause I don't know if I would take anything down that hill on your job without one.

Re: I Own A John Deere!!


day,

We used it to cover up a septic system, backfill a waterline that was dug through a very wet area and grade a driveway in the short time we've had it and have found it to be very handy in it's small size. We hope to be able to use it to keep the surface clean of the roadways on the hillside job. Being small it will be more maneuverable. There's not much room to work on that job.
