My CAT has buried a few stray dogs when they are caught chasing my ducks or geese. One scoop and a dog is gone.

Never piss off a woman with a backhoe or excavator.

I was in the club for 10 years. Bought a Komatsu 1992 PC220 LC that really had nothing wrong with it. The boom cylinders barely weeping bugged me so I rebuilt them. Had to replace a few hoses. They are tons of fun for a while and then they turn into work. 40 grand went a long way on my new tractor but there are many days I miss that big machine.

A mini is great and easy to move, but a bigger machine works circles around it. Your rig is a really nice size. It big enough to do real work and not obnoxiously huge. My father had a Komatsu PC150 that was the bee's knees!

Had to replace a hydraulic line in the middle of the machine. Had a mechanic do it. It was a bear. Took him 2 trips and 6 hours to get it back in there and not leaking. Glad I did not fool with it. It was in a bad spot and I did not want any part of it. That puts me 6K now in the machine minus oils and fuel. Other than that, it is still going strong
. Hope to get everything cleared before anything major need fixing.
Main uses are digging out pine trees and old stumps and tending the fires. Excavators are AWESOME for tending a a fire.

I have been doing a lot of hard work with the Hitachi and it has a leaking boom cylinder. It has been leaking since before I had it, but starting to really drip. I have a good friend helping me with it. Going to be heading to his shop today to pull it apart and rebuild it.
Good news is Pins are good and everything came off easily. Only difficult part is going to be getting it apart. The allen heads around the cylinder have never been removed and painted/rusted on. My buddy is going to put on his table at work with all his gear to get those loose.
