    Well I’m locked in on the TB2150 until someone outbids me. If they do I may gamble on the old 315. It’s in PA but 4 hours away and I’m stuck in Chicago right now. Probably won’t make it home until 4 am. Don’t think I’ll be able to go see it. Might be worth a 10k gamble? Both auctions close...

    Just an update, lot out on a JCB with a thumb on eBay by 2800 bucks… so close. Anyway I found a guy with a CAT 313 that will rent it for 38 bucks and hour… probably going to go that route first!

    Thank you for looking at that. I’ll try to reengage with them, speaking to a human is difficult. The engineer that came out and did the site survey is my only POC at this point. Older guy, very knowledgeable.

    Thank you all for the power info, that will certainly be a factor in building but the closest alligator to my boat is still finding the right machine at an affordable price in which I can spend some time and make all this happen! On the KOBELCO the seller got back to me saying they really don’t...
