one thing ive learned recently the hardway is when your trenching you need to plan well with the bh92. tractors dont cross trenches the way you can with an excavator

I had to go pick up a new deck belt for my Scag mower the other day and they had a new Wacker Neusom EZ26 sitting outside for sale. Sure was purty! $49,000 purty! o_O

So I worked out a deal with my Kubota dealer and am going to trade-in the BH92 for a new KX-033-4 cab mini-excavator. I ordered it with the angled blade, hyd. quick coupler, hyd. thumb, and 3 different size buckets (trenching, digging and grading). I chose the KX033 over the KX040 due to the smaller footprint and it will be easier to move between my farm and my friend's farm on the other side of town. Just for fun, I also had him run some numbers on what it would cost to add a Steelwrist tiltrotator, since I saw a guy on YouTube do some pretty amazing things with that attachment, but it adds another 60% to the price of the machine! o_O That's too big a bite for me, especially since this is only going to be for my personal use on the farm.

They have the machine and buckets in stock, but the hyd. quick coupler is going to take some time since they don't have one on hand and I'm assuming that takes a bit of shop time to get installed. I will post some photos when it arrives.
