They have gone up since I got mine by the looks of it.

I'm just glad I finally got one. I've been dreaming of one for a good bit of time.

Now the only other thing to lust over is a tracked loader. But the one I want will definitely be a minute.

Super handy & much more capable than the older skids.

That was the competitor to the model I was looking at. T870.

I’m not fond of the newer Doosan powered Bobcats.

I’d advise you researching the heartache around those.

Locally a large contractor that I associate with is going to another brand after 30 years of Bobcats.

They buy 10-20 every few years.

It’s real simple- If it’s not Kubota powered stay very away.

Based on their experiences I would strongly advise this.

Weird question time does the Kubota have a aux Port at rear and mounting for a winch?

It doesn’t but talking with this guy we believe it can be added.

My latest husband in-law seems like a nice enough fellow.

So some good news. The older t870s I'm looking at are still Kubota diesels. V3800-DI-T-E3

I went to the gate to get the mail. Saw a set of duals which are definitely road tires and not from my international. Imma be mad is ups bypassed me or took it to my neighbor a few miles down. (Which sometimes happens)

That is too cool.

I had a property owner a couple years ago that wanted 4 acres of Planted White pines cleared. All were in the 16-18” range.

This would have been ideal for that as the local logging outfits start at 20 acres & told me they would pick up the logs if I cut & loaded them but would not pay me anything.

I’d of taken that job on myself.

Got it in already started messing with it took a complety rocked husky chain to practice on and am I glad it did. Straight cut that strap on half almost .


The packaging was decent in the sense it was great except trying to get it out of the foam.



The stand however was absolute garbage with lopsided feet that made it want to tip over if you so much as breathed on it.



Fixed that issue with a "umbrella stand" 10 points if you know what it actually is.



The practice chain. Which I mutilated.

 

[Absolution]

I sharpened up an 28" archer skip and I wish I had this sooner.

I also understand why you all said to get the other chain guide. I didn't realize the one that comes with it isn't metal.
Weird question I though it came with one blue wheel and one white? Or did that change?

Until you discover the hard way with a finger or knuckle how sharp it can make your chains.

And as Sheryl crow sings The first cut is the deepest ,,,,,, then you'll be OK
