    Uneven Cutting Edge on Loader

    I haven’t seen the machine yet, so I couldn’t tell you if the bucket bushings are tight or not, sounds like the uneven edge is a minor problem, especially if the other side hasn’t been used yet. Thanks!

    Uneven Cutting Edge on Loader

    Hey all quick question, I’m looking into getting a new backhoe and while corresponding with the seller they have sent me a few pictures, one thing stands out that worries me, the cutting edge on the loader doesn’t appear to be wearing evenly. The left side is worn more than the right. Is that...

    Bobcat E50 vs full sized backhoe

    I appreciate all of the advice guys, it’s nice to have a forum to pick your minds, lots of experience! I would expect most of the trenches would be less than 100 yards in length, although backfilling might be slow, it sounds feasible with the mini x. I do have access to a skidsteer, so that...

    Bobcat E50 vs full sized backhoe

    Thank you for a speedy reply! Another question, if it was a wide open place and not tight quarters would a excavator in that class (5-6 tons) come close to trenching with a backhoe?

    Thanks for all of the information, its nice to hear from people that have a wide range of knowledge on these machines. The backhoe market has really gone up in the last 12 months, making it harder to find a deal out there.

    Thanks for the advice, here is the link to it on machinery trader http://www.machinerytrader.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=6140743 Everybody around here runs either JD or Cat and there is probably a good reason for that, does anybody know about a Volvo BL70?

    I came across a very low hour JCB, and had some interest in it. Nobody I know owns or has ever ran a JCB so I was just wondering what experiences (positive or negative) anybody has had with one?
