Not yet. I was talking to my wife about the third garage and I think that is priority. The funny thing is that if I had the excavator I could work on the garage pad. Also, I may hold off until January so I can buy a larger excavator.

They were going to give me the same price.

The same reason I want a 10 foot tall door for my tractor garage. I would like to get a bigger tractor within the next two years. My little Mahindra 1626 is down to 19HP due to altitude loss. I want a 40HP tractor so it won’t bug down when grading my roads and the land plane gets full going uphill.

This is taking more than I wanted. 🤣 I got the Huayee guy waiting on me since Friday. We been talking back and forth about the machines, delivery, etc. he is telling me the prices are set to go up in a few days. Not sure if he is just pressuring me out or if it is true. Anyway, I think I’m going...

I like how wide and long the tracks are. Agree the thumb looks weak.

That R18 is nice! Wife gave me a “hell no” face when she saw the price. 🤣

In all honesty I don’t foresee big projects order than trenches, drainage ditches and landscaping. The pond will be finished by a contractor I usually hire for large projects. My main requirements are a machine of decent quality, fluid movements, not tippy like my ex mini the Tippa NDI313 (at...

Thanks for answering.

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I’m located in New Mexico just north of a beautiful little town called Ruidoso. Our property sits right at 7,300 ft. Right now sitting on my porch listening to elk grazing around me. Like you said, we don’t have financial instability but we didn’t get here by not...

The Typhon XIX appears to be the same as the Huayee HY18. Do you mind telling me how much you paid for the Bull 18x. I’ve looked at them but I’m not sure it is worth that much more over the Huayee or Typhon if purchased at MSRP. Plus they do not ship for free as far as I can tell.

Didn’t know that option with eBay existed. That’s is went forums are great. Thanks.

Just checked and informed myself. Credit cards won’t protect if a person knowingly made the purchase and is scammed. They only protect you with unauthorized charges and disputes with legit vendors and service providers. Now I know.

You are right but I’ve already taken more than I wanted from my investments this year and I’m border line about to jump tax brackets. From 24% to 32% when we consider our incomes. I like paying the least possible in taxes. I could have purchased a very nice Kubota KX018-4 excavator with a few...

Good idea.
