Building Lake Corona

[jk96]

I bet you doubled your watershed by cleaning up all that brush from around those trees!!!

I hope your right. All of the surrounding ground was like a sponge prior to clearing. Will create a little more maintance mowing with the cutter once or twice a year but that's ok. I don't mind that type of work.

He bought a 2018 model

your right, it weighs 12,300lbs and has a tad over 14,000 lbs of traction force. He's getting a DEF alarm. A service call costs $175./hour, starting when they leave the shop until they get back. OUCH. He's looking into it, but it has proprietary software. I told him to drop it off, and drive it in the mechanic's bay himself, to save probably $750 travel costs. They cost about $120K new. OUCH.

I would be trailering it to the dealer for that price. My TV450 was $67k new with hvac cab, high-flow, ride control, air seat. I'm wondering where that extra $60k is justified on the Takuchi? Specs are not that different for almost double the cost.

On 2nd look that is a beast of a machine. 21 more hp and about 1100lbs higher on operating load at 50%. Would really have to need those extra specs for that price difference. Would make a good forestry machine if running drum mulchers.

Jeremy,
Been wondering the last few days. How is Lake Corona doing and how is the firework display business going?
hugs, Brandi

Let him finish counting his cash this week and hell get back to us.

on edit.
Wow, I mistakenly spelled hell which it left but good forbid I type President Biden.

Bump because I am also curious how the lake is doing. This was a great thread to follow!

Looks like we have followed it to a dead end.

Eh I'm sure it's not intentional, he's just a very busy dude who may not have email notifications turned on, or sent to his primary account. He's probably built several other huge things by now, haha. Maybe... a new shop/barn, 2 miles of fence, and another pond?

I’m sure you’re right.
