    backhoe question.

    Does not make any sense for me to hire or rent. Often only need machine for an hour or two each time. Rental place is 1 hour each way.

    I hope I can prevent this from happening to other operators.

    This is the very reason I keep my cell phone on my body. A tractor mounted cell phone holder is a serious mistake!

    Thumb for an L48 Backhoe?

    MY response to a 7 year old post! For anyone interested. My L48 TLB has a really nice hydraulic thumb that was manufactured, and installed, by M.C Faulkner (Maine). Falkner is no longer in business, but apparently sold out to: SRS Attachments of Norridgewock, ME. 207-858-0690

    Strat-O-span, anyone have one?

    BIGGER is ALWAYS BETTER in storage buildings! No one has ever said: "I wish I had built a smaller building!"

    Strat-O-span, anyone have one?

    Looks like great pricing! Can you first get a look at someone else's building by the same supplier? Maybe ask SOS for a buyer reference?

    My experience with the 50 hour service.

    " My dealer sells Warren Premium fluid, and said the Traveller Premium from TSC is fine too" Did your dealer also SAY that he will warranty your Kubota hydraulic system ?

    Best "cheap" materials for gravel parking area?

    Recycled asphalt is great stuff, but nearly impossible to find in my area. They truck it back to the mix plant, and use it in new asphalt.
