My new backhoe!

I just bought a new toy. It's not a skoolie but i'm still pretty excited. Has 1,500 hours on the clock, which is pretty much equal to a car with 30K miles on it.

Truth... But gas is rated very well on the explodey scale!

(I used to work for a call-before-dig service, water and gas line breaks are a huuuuuge pain! Plus the potential fines for damage are insane )

Re: My new backhoe!

Congrats on the new toy!!!!Even if you never use it it is an awsome machine. By my way of thinking it trumps a "man cave " times 500!--to say nothing of a Skoolie! Low hours, yellow--Hell of a deal!
