I just got this back to my shop. It looks even better than the picts, & has had lots of recent service work done. Can't wait to give it a workout!:thumbup:

Been meanin to get to that!

It's a '96 Mustang 940e, 5500lb, Yanamar diesel 38hp on governor, 45hp at max, complete with backhoe, forks, & 60" smooth bucket. Everything is in excellent shape, including tires, all new filters, fluids, drive chains, wheel/axle bearings, a few hoses. Cosmetically, the only thing damaged to any degree is the backhoe seat.

What are you using it for Joe...:blink:
B,
I have lot's of needed projects to do around my shops 2 1/4 acres, some future ideas, a few projects at home.
At shop:
Building addition, 2 parking lot extensions, 10 ft picket fence removal, dead tree removal, grubbing, grading, street ditch line reshapeing that's too steep, & hard to cut grass, drainage pipe line, drainage ditches, maybe new sewer line to street, maybe selling lathe shavings....to load trucks, which would eliminate 90% of current 4 yard weekly dumpster pickup (mostly lathe shavings, & saw dust), deep snow removal, off pavement fork lift work, & emergency back up to shop Clark lift.

Most are really important to expansion, some are cosmetic, some will make the shop a nicer place to work. In the first couple of years in the shop, I rented bobcats 3 times, & swore that I would eventually buy one just to use as needed. I finally can afford it. The one I bought is in excellent shape, will hold it's value, & will do just about anything I might need to do in the future with minimal maintainance. I bought it right.:thumbsup:

At home, I need to tear out, & replace concrete on about 50' of my drive.

My 3 boys are also at a point where they are about to buy their own properties. They are already plotting uses for it, including some light logging, & home additions.;)

In the end, I got tired of dwelling on justifying it, & just bought it!
You know th routine!

I needed a new toy!;)
