Got me a 1025r FILB

[PsRumors]

Was delivered Wednesday evening. Between work and life I've only gotten two hours of seat time but should be able to get several hours Saturday.

After setting up the deck correctly I cut the grass. What a great cut.now to dig out a couple of stumps.

Congrats!

I purchased a 1026R earlier this summer with the FEL and recently decided I needed a backhoe as well. Had it put on a week ago today but have not been in town long enough to use it. I have a stump selected ... maybe this weekend!

I got one myself... I'd suggest a strap between the outrigger pads to keep them up during storage. They have a tendency to leak down over time & can block passage if your storage area is kinda narrow. Also, be religious about putting the lock pins in on the backhoe when not in use. Forgot once & ended up with the dipper leaning against the inside of the garage door. Had to start it up & pull it back upright before I could open the door. One last thing is to recommend the Bro-Tek ripper as an alternative to the bucket for stump work. Faster & less soil displacement for the smaller ones (6" - 10" ) that I've been doing.
