Agreed. But, we can just rent an 8 ton for those digs...
Ah Ha.........makes sense to me!
At nearly $1,000 for the rental (incl. del.), how many jobs needing a KX080 size, are you likely to do in a year?
Perhaps what you really need is a KX080 $$$ size machine, and a $$$ bigger truck and a $$$ bigger trailer.😪
UGH.......probably a CDL also!

Senior moment dusty. More and more of them lately. Takes money to make money for sure.
Amazing how much money some companies have in large equipment. No wonder they charge what they have to.
I have no idea what your post concerns unless there is another Dusty on the forums. DustyRusty.

I think he meant that for me. Dirty. ;)

I have another one to do tomorrow...with a large Orange I believe. Maybe it will be a different flavor.

The wife's riding area had been neglected for a while due to rain and the time change. Used the tiller to freshen it up. before I could even get out of the pasture I looked over and saw that it was already being used.

Following the ingenious lead of others, I stowed some chain away in the cross tubing of my FEL.

Ordered a couple of 3" plumbing test plugs and managed to stuff one 12' long 1/4" chain and one 20' long 5/16" chain in the tube before sealing it off.

I like the idea of 'chain boxes' too...but with a compact tractor I have limited real estate to hang things on.

Snow plowed and then snow plowed a neighbor's driveway. Their driveway was a bit harder since it hasn't been done in two storms, and their driveway wasn't marked very well.

@dirtydeed : Lemme guess, the original installer made that bend without fittings other than a coupling? That deep, ain't no way something ran over it and broke it. I don't see any nearby trees, so I'm guessing the pipe just broke? Still looking very green up in PA, btw.

Put the snowblower on yesterday, The subframe went on smoothly but the 3rd and fourth hoses from the blower assy were a pain to get through the spiral holder. They also didn't give any extra length on the hoses and I had to strategically move them in the holder to get the second one down attached. All in all not a bad job.

There was an issue with the old cast iron waste line rotting away. lots of scale, rot all the way down at the wye connection in the terra-cotta sewer main. We re-routed the line up on a fairly steep angle so that the rest of the dig would be much more shallow.

lifted and moved a broken clothes dryer from the garage to the bed of my pickup truck and then later that day unloaded a used replacement dryer from the truck to the garage. Would have drove it in the house if it only would fit, lol

Btw, also added bolt on hooks to the bucket over the weekend.

Santa came early…I thought a bigger than usual lump of coal at first…package would not fit down the chimney and I guess and Dancer did not have a fork truck…I sure could have used Rudolph’s nose in the this fog and mist Ohio is having. Not terribly heavy but very glad to have the forks on the little orange monster. 🥃

Moving literally tons of stuff rearranging the property over the past few months I have realized if I didn’t have a loader with forks I would need friends younger and with fewer back problems than those I currently have. Forks are easier to source and more reliable.

This past Tuesday I got to fully appreciate just how good my MX6000 is and how well it's set up for snow removal!

I spent a few days with a "friend" on Mount Spokane and borrowed her dad's New Holland tractor to clear her driveway. She's on 20 acres and had a lot of snow up there this past weekend. I discovered what a complete POS her dad's tractor is with a crappy rear blade attachment, and how poorly set up it was with the rear chains catching on the lift arms, etc. I got the left lift arm moved over as much as I could by messing with the turnbuckles but it was still a struggle to use the rear blade when moving forward.

It would have taken me 10 minutes to clear her driveway with the MX but I was out there for over an hour trying to get her driveway and parking areas cleared up. I then had to spend another 20 minutes with a shovel to finish the job!

You may not be as well-received after this post….calling his tractor a “POS”…. seems he reads these forums…. :ROFLMAO:
