Looks like you have plenty of power making debris for the flux capacitor :D
Man, not a pretty job, not a big job, but it pays the bills. Those are good jobs to have.

All I got done today was unload and knocked over back wall where you see no wall behind skidloader just to see if I needed to cut the wall or breaker it. One light bump and it fell over. (that'll save some work)
I am there just to finish what the owner had started and given up on with his 543. Hopefully get all the wood out and knock the concrete out tommorrow and then rock it for a new pole-building pad by end of week if weather coopperates! In the spring its always good to have this kind of job. (Not much material involved!)

Did you pick up a Quick Spade for you skid steer yet??

Not yet, I did manage to completely destroy the rest of the old set of forks today moving concrete chunks left from the walls pictured above. (Ripped the slide bar on the top completely off and lost both forks!!!) A few more welds wouldn't have hurt from factory, go figure 3,500lbs forks on 3000lb machine. :confused: Built by a bird!! Good thing they came with machine when I bought it. :mad:

After a day in the mud I think that my money will be going for some new skins first. :Banghead

That sucks that your forks were so bad. my forks are 2 x 4 at the base and are rated at 8,000 lbs. They came right from Bobcat dealer. They don't look like the best. But I don't have a lick of problems since I put the Quick Spade on it. I see you can pick up a quick spade now for $150.00 to $180.00.

What type of skins you going to put on??

That is debatable yet. I realize you can buy the cheapy's for around $100 or so, but as much time as I spend on hard surfaces they get rubbed off pretty quickly and I had about 3 times the tire repairs trying to save a few bucks when I had them put on the machines where I used to work. I usually like to go with the harder compound tires and they are harder on your wallet too!!

Anyone got a tire suggestion?

I ended up getting Goodyear IT323 12plys. They are in the middle as far as price goes. Getting them put on this afternoon and I'll let you know how they are. (Anything has to be better than my bologna skins!!)
