new play toy

Post by 6166 Junkyard Dog »

not really a play toy but something for the yard especially since so much mud now since so much rain/snow so far and poor old fork lift is having a hard time in the yard now, wrecker is having a hard time as well,, had to rent one few weeks ago for 5 minutes 300.00, this one is a lot bigger with new tires, new seat and been just serviced as well, so bite the bullet and bought this one

It's a tool for you Tom, but for most of us on here it would be the ultimate toy. OH YEAH.

Once you own one
You won't understand how you got along without one

Pat it's a 2003 model so it's not new < new is like 38,000 to 40,000 >, only thing we got new is the Bobcat forks since it's made to walk through the middle with steps on the side. <one we rented was not like that and had to have a step ladder to get in and out >, Then when we got a wrecker it was like wow, then the rollback made life easier, then a forklift especially we where lifting beds/cabs by hand, :( fork lift could not get to a lot of places, so now looks like we can get anywhere we need to and if it snows we can dig out and our grandson is a sheriff next door so we can get him out as well

I think mine was built in the early 70s..
4 cylinder gas Wisconsin engine
But it does me ok
Getting a "dead" truck into the shop was a big hassle
On a slight incline... have to turn to get in
But now it's a piece of cake with that skid steer pushing it in

Nice bobcat!!! Y’all will definately put some hours on that!
Just an idea for you, what about renting it out to your close-by Slicksters while y’all
are travelling, I could at least keep the battery charged for you :lol:

I would but we have to have insurance on it so not suppose to be used except for our yard here

Oh yes Pat it makes it easier on moving a truck and once we get to a certain place in the driveway the regular fork lift can take over then especially since the forklift has 8' forks to unload the trucks off the trailer

will look into a camera for it and maybe a side mirror

Well technically most of my yard came from your yard so.....
The rearview cameras are sweet, you’ll really like that. The side mirrors
seem to like trees when I’ve used them!
Send some pictures of Kathy and Cooper when they’re out in it :D
