Is it me or does the Rhino look sad?

Yeah found out the FEL Hydraulics were just as powerful when the hood was flipped open. I did a nice job of crushing the sheet metal after doing an oil change.

It looked better after applying some of my car learned body/paint work

Today it took a beating Brush cutter over all kinds of wood and bushes. I finally stopped and got the industrial backhoe to continue.

Yes, it is. I HATE envy talented people!! 👍
Talented all right, at breaking things. Was doing a little job after the trail clearing and the backhoe swung over no longer connected. I did catch a tree in the trail clearing with the backhoe... Complete chain is about $970 through Messick's and the little 5/8" x 2 5/16 pins are each $41.60.
Ordered four through hardened steel alloy pins for $38 off ebay.

obviously need to keep replacing hoses as well.

Onward through the fog. :) for today just going to machine whatever I have laying around so it isn't stuck sitting where it is.

OOPs.

Ouch!

McMaster-Carr has a variety of chain parts, but I've never tried to find one for a backhoe. That hose on top of the hinge looks like it has had quite the life to me but I'm miles away...

All the best,

Peter

I've heard this before. Care (or dare) to say where you got it from? It would be interesting to see if it's the same.

Talk about a bummer.
Backing my FIL's car out of the driveway I had the drivers door open and looking over my right shoulder to back up. I forgot about the tree next to the driveway until it made contact with the fender.
