Hi All, (What a Great Forum.)
I'd like the skinny on dirt buckets & boom poles.
I have an older, but solid Kubota B7100D 4x4 (16.5/12 hp) with 5' scraper blade, 4' brush hog & 4' finish mower. All came as a package.
While a FEL would be nice, I'm havin' trouble justifying the $3K, give or take (can't seem to find a used one, reasonable.) Looks like I could scoop and transport material w/ the dirt scoop and and lift stuff w/ a boom. I don't mind taking small bites to get the job done with less than ideal solutions where the cost is 1/10 for the scoop and boom as compared to the FEL, but I don't want to throw $ down the rat hole either.
Let me have it, boys. Whaddya think? Am I fooling myself? Thanks for any/all feedback. I appreciate your time.
