Well, looks like I'm probably going to be buying a new tractor. Mine has been having some issues and throwing some money at fixing them didn't seem to work out. Looking at a brand new 4044M with backhoe and grapple rake thingy. They're coming out to my job tomorrow to assess mine for trade in. Financing is already approved though, so I'm probably just gonna do it. I'm too busy so far this year to mess around with the old one anymore. So much for being payment free. Oh well. Hopefully this one lasts me until I'm dead (which seems like a pretty good bet). Lol.
look at the bright side, you could live long enough to pay it off.

How often are you going to use that backhoe? Seems like a hassle fitting it in tight corners. I'd just take the counterweight if you're moving wood most the time.

Was back up at Peabody's today splitting that hickory we took down last week and an oak trunk I dumped there a while back. I guess I got about 3 cords done and I don't know how in the Hell Tomtrees splits all that wood with just a little splitter. I still have to stack the **** on the patio!
I was talking to Peabody and maybe we will trade up the wood for a Stratocaster.
Was up helping NC again in Morgantown yesterday and that night they got hit by a wicked storm almost FEMA worthy. He hasn't called for help thank God. Seems like my area keeps getting missed by inches by all these storms and that is a good thing.

I hardly ever use the backhoe to be honest, but when I need it, its there. It's just a nice thing to have. I thought about skipping it (10k), but I hate to lose a capability I already have. Makes the tractor a more complete machine too. The winch stays on most of the time (amazingly handy tree tool). Tires are filled for weight and the winch helps some as well (plus it has a hitch for moving the chipper).
Peabody has a strat?? Sweet.

As long as it's not a crappy squire you're golden. TWANG!!!
Got another addition to the fleet today, just have to finish up the signage. Brand new F-650 with a 25 yard box.
It has a Cummins, but I hear that Ford is going back to the Ford engines.

i would be surprised if ford uses their own diesels.they were a good product (made in brasil and still used on non us made ford trucks) because they were so dirty and ford didn't want to made them epa compliant.
Where do they carry all the tools, on the bucket? Nice looking truck.
The groundies use that truck, the climbers drive a service truck, Tundra, F-350 or one of the Chevy's.

You think maybe it was planted in the absorption lines of the septic system.

It was on sewer. The tree blew over on the house apparently during hurricane bob. The eye passes over and blew the tree upright but it became a rotten mess.
Hurricane BOB?? Or was it Bill a few days ago?
