Better Late than Never: L39 Purchased

[SkyPup]

As far as charging for TLB work or bush hogging or whatever, I normally charge $40 per hr or just a set fee for whatever it is and let the client choose between the two.

Nuke,

NICE! You are going to love that machine. Don't be too hard on it until you get the fluids changed out the first time.

I'm really impressed to see that load you lifted (over 3000lbs), that's fantastic to have a quantified load lifted to verify its abilities. I just barely lifted a huge rock the other day and was able to get the loader up only enough to push it out of the way about 75' or so. I hope I didn't damage anything in the hydraulic system, but I guess that's what the hydro relief valve is for. My buddy who helped me get it into the loader was stunned that we moved it. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif This thing is massive. I used a standard water bucket to give the chuck some scale in the picture, but it still doesn't do it justice.

I just hit 50 hours and plan to do my first change this weekend. Sky gave me some tips a few weeks back, so that should be helpful.

L39 is a beast /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Here's another pic of a dirt pile recently created. I added the water bucket to that too for some scale....LOTS of dirt. I used the loader with the tooth bar and the hoe to loosen and gather the top soil. Very capable machine.
