    Land Clearing

    macmarine - Yeah I certainly have quite the job ahead! I'm taking my time and certainly being very cautious as I go. I'd love the idea of getting extra dirt to use for the project, but I'm going to create a stump dump for the time being and have them hauled out. I don't want to look back in...

    Looking for my first backhoe. Thinking of a Case 580

    I just picked up a 89 Ford new holland 455 this past week. 4wd extenda-hoe. Fairly good shape. Runs good, 4wd works great, engine sounds good. Oil levels were in spec, the hoe was a bit sloppy and the lower boom pin needs replacement. Overall the machine was a little on the high end for hours at...
