When I was a teen I thought that where we lived in Kennesaw Ga. that every time it rained the rocks would grow, but I believe your place would grow them in a drought. But man you can make some fine roads around the place. Especially if you could get yourself an old grizzly screen.

Might be able to use the bucket teeth as a rake to clear away the bigger rocks. Be extra careful not to dig in where the machine has to push hard and don't dump the bucket all the way down. You can also put the lift arms in float position and back blade with the teeth. I'd try with the bucket at different angles to see what works best.

Haven’t quite figured out the float mode! Not sure how to make that happen.

Great way to learn machines is by renting them and it looks like you're having fun doing it. But there is a downside to it also: Now you're spoiled on a machine that doesn't need to be worked on and it has a beefy progressive thumb.

Progress…slow progress, power line going in… garage pad done . Now I gotta build it. Still looking for an excavator. What you think about this one maybe? https://www.facebook.com/share/1HDZLFjwew/?mibextid=wwXIfr

At 8k hours components start to wear out on this size hoes. Something to think about.
My 321DL has 8k and we are spending money on it now as small items come to the end of their life. So far cheaper than a payment and no def.

Nice looking machine for the money.
Looks like a reasonable job to convert to a hydraulic thumb.
As long as certain hardware is already in.
Any machine in that size and condition, is going to have a degree of uncertainty, along with what could be huge gambke.
i certainly like it, from behind my keyboard.

I would want to know what they were doing with it, if they were digging in the rock that thing will be wobbly but for the homeowner that may not be a deal breaker.
