Well it's not brand new but close 1100 hours on it.With the tracks it really cleans pens well should save on some time much quicker than my Belarus tractors. :wink:

I had them put on a new set of tracks the bale spear they sent with is junk so I will trade it back to them for some bale spears and build my own..

We have ALOT of manure to clean up and spread plus I will use it for logging in the winter.
 
I hope it works for you Denny, I had a generation 1 240 Deere and had nothing but trouble with it.

They switched building them from Tennessee to Michigan in one of the industrial factories there, but I didn't buy a generation 2 because the first one was so bad.

New Holland gave me a better deal on a bigger one so switched and have never been more satisfyed.
 
That's one little toy I might learn to drive...there's alot of projects around the yard I'd like to do, and with one of them things...I'd be getting em done! Me and shovels just don't fit together well.... :lol:
 
Hey Denny-- those make great bull herders too...I was at a sale one day when they had a big Charolais bull that took anything that moved-- tore down several gates and had almost crippled a couple of horses when the cowboys on horseback tried to get him to move down the alley...

One guy jumped in the Bobcat-- which the bull tried to take and climb into -- but the skid loader won out....Burger may have been a little bruised- but they got him on a truck bound for the hamburger factory....
 
That is one machine that every one should have! You'll wonder how you got along without one. I use mine almost everyday for a whole variety of jobs. Plus nowadays, you can get almost any attachment imaginable. I use mine for shoving mean cows in the barn if they have calved out in the bad weather or need help. It is pretty hard for the cow to win over the skid loader! :P :P I raise my loader arms and drop the bucket down and I'm protected from the cow and can kinda shove the calf along as it walks. I use a Case 1840.
 
I really like new toys like that! Oldtimer is right, we use a Bobcat to load bulls that are tough to handle as well....just wish it wasn't so damn slow.
