I'm always looking for good equipment to make life easier.
I saw a 2003 GMC 3500 with dump box for sale down the street from me. 2 wheel drive, dually. Basic truck. Only 28,700 miles. $10,000.
Well, while talking to the guy selling it I learned he has a New Holland LX885 with 600 hours, heavy-duty bucket, snow bucket and forks for $10,000. 60 horse diesel with 2200 pound lift capacity. Comes with a dual axle trailer.
I stopped because of the truck, but got my interest turned to the skid steer. Any of you guys have any experience with New Holland? LX885? What do you think? A rock grapple bucket would make it a logging machine. Thoughts?
