Yet more on the shoddy Backhoe install saga.

I think we have the same distributor so that's no surprise. I think there are only two or three for the country. East, West and I don't know if there are any others.

SE (Chattanooga, TN) NE (Bloomsburg, PA), Mid-West (Lyons, KS), South (Houston) and West (Olivehurst, CA) Currently :thumbsup:

Wow that many. Many more than I thought. I hope the others are better with backhoe installs. LOL KMW needs to come out here and show them how to do it proper.

The Lyons facility is a sister company to KMW. They are not perfect, but do a good job. I am actually long overdue for a visit to the West Coast facility, especially since we have never been out there to the new one. It's on the agenda, but not planned yet.

And you didn't visit the old one very often either!

I think I was only there once and that was 2010... I did see you guys at Tulare several times though!

He's pretty unreliable, but he builds a great loader and some pretty nice backhoes. :dance1::laughing::thumbsup:

Their ML275 loader on my 6520 is almost bullet proof. He's hit and miss, I guess.
We love ya Jeremy!

Well when you get there, learn em how to install your backhoes good n proper. LOL
I'll even let you come up here and they can take mine off and put it back on a couple of times for practice. It's only 45 miles or so from Olivehurst up to my place and it's a heap cooler up here anyway. It can get really hot down in that valley in the summer time so you might want to take that into consideration before setting any dates.

LOL I take a day and a half off from work and come back to all this! Definitely think waiting a few months to go out there is best. It was late May the last time I was there and thought I would melt.... but considering Kansas weather right now it is no different...
