I’m a little late to the party, but I can tell you that I just traded in the BH92 that I bought. With my L6060 on a BX033-4 mini excavator. For me, it was the best decision I could’ve made. Well, actually, the best decision would’ve been to not order the BH92 In the first place since I took a...

So, additional research suggests that the pipe is a municipality—owned reinforced concrete flared-end section (FES) discharge to manage the storm water from the sub-division up the hill behind me. I will double-check, but I think that is a an easement on my deed. I don’t believe I can mess with...

NIWM - I think there is a swale that cuts through the paddock. That may have been part of the the original design. Not sure if it visible in this photo but it runs under the fence in the forefront, along that ‘berm’ (not sure if that’s the right term) and then exits under the fence in the...

I think that water may come from the street up behind me. I think there are only two houses on that street. I will look at this a little closer. I posted a picture of the lane of property that is in Proposal 1. Not sure if you can tell from picture but there is an old rock wall on the left...

One other option is to move the manure piles directly across from where they are now and build a block wall on the uphill side to stop water from getting into piles (Proposal 3 in red). I can’t build a concrete pad for the manure piles because I’ve run out of impervious coverage (state/local...

Here’s where all that water eventually winds up. I know I can move the manure poles further up the slope, above where the water drains across the open fiel of wild grass, but that would mean having to push wheelbarrows full of manure uphill twice a day. At this age, I’m trying to work smarter...

Here is the drainage pipe. That little orange flag is my property line marker.

I have a large concrete drainage pipe that daylights on the back of my property, and the water runs through a paddock, down a hill and into my manure piles. This is probably by design because there is a berm in my paddock (which was just an open field behind the barn until I fenced it in earlier...

I have an L6060 as well. Traded up from a B2601 when I bought the bigger piece of land. I originally ordered mine with a BH92, but realized pretty quickly that for all the trenching I needed to do, as well as some excavation for a new shop and new pole barn, the backhoe wasn’t going to cut it...

I just bought. New KX-033-4 last month. I specifically went with that machine due to its size and ability to move it between properties. I never owned a mini-ex before (I traded in my BH92 as part of the deal) but as Sawdust mentioned above, it is pretty amazing what you can accomplish with...

I got the hoses aligned as per the suggestions in this thread. I’ll post a picture tomorrow. I also had my dealer order me a Del Morino centurion Super 158C. I will post some pics when it arrives.

Are you saying loosen the fitting and then make each hose follow the same path/bends? Sorry if that is a dumb question.

I got my L6060 back from the dealer today. It was there because I traded in my BH92 for a KX-033 mini-excavator, and that was the easiest way to get the bh to the dealer. While it was there, I had them add two additional rear remotes in preparation for my next implement purchase (DelMorino Super...

The KX-033 arrived today. It took a little bit of time because they were waiting for the hydraulic quick coupler to come in from a warehouse in CA (I live in NJ). They took the Zl6060 back to the dealership to remove the BH92, and to also install two more rear remotes (I will have a total of...

I went to visit the KX-033 today. The hydraulic quick coupler is en route from Elk Grove CA. Supposed to be here on Tuesday. I’m hoping I have it delivered to my property by next weekend. Here is a picture of it on the lot:
