    Thank you for the information guys I'll check into this. Another quick question and I know this is simple, but do you need to have auxiliary hydraulics for a hydraulic quick coupler for the buckets? My machine doesn't have a quick coupler and I'd really love to have one. But I don't have...

    Deere 310sg or Deere 310sj

    What’s the major differences between these 2 Machines . I’m assuming the sg doesn’t have as much electronics which I would prefer but I’ve found a good buy on a sj and was curious what the major differences are.

    Cat 420D vs 420E

    looking at backhoes and am curious what the differences are between the 2. I’m wanting something reliable and not to complicated with electronics. Are these 2 machines about the same or is the E full of electronics I’m looking at a 2006 E model if that matters. What does everybody prefer?

    Need advise on new/ used backhoe

    The backhoe would be for farm use only, we’ve got a older dozer and a excavator for more serious work. The backhoe would basically be for spreading rock, going around the edge of fields and pushing trees back that fell over in the winter, and some smaller ditch digging and tile holes. Nothing...
