Greetings All,

I purchased my first backhoe (2014 Case 590SN Tier 4A) a couple of weeks ago just as COVID-19 panic was emerging. I got it for a good price as it was a repo and needed a few minor repairs. The rear center window was broken and it had no service brakes. I managed to get the brakes back by bleeding the system and am currently looking for a window. I'm an Avionics AME and just got laid off so I am having fun with my hoe since I live on the family homestead and have lots of junk to clean up and many projects to do now that I can move the earth.
Looking forward to sharing my knowledge with you all.
Stay well.

Welcome to the forum Klay. Loader backhoes are a very versatile machine. I am sure you will find plenty of projects to use it on. :)

Thanks funwithfuel,
Peoples Republic of Illinois... is that part of the mainland? Variety is the spice of life. I'll have to check it out next time I head south.
Cheers!

Thanks for the welcome farmerlund,
I had some idea of what a hoe was capable of before I bought one and it is an amazing machine. I'm sure that I've barely scratched the surface so far.
Cheers!
