Its a thing of beauty...Compared to my beat up Kobelco and my prehistoric Case 1150B

Anyway, I plan to work it at my farm for maybe a month, then ship the thing to Africa where I am putting together another farm. MY US Spec machine has that DPF/DEF tree-hugger junk on it. I understand that I am supposed to do my part to keep mechanics in business and shops alive with the continuous service calls fixing that useless junk, but there are no such things where this little machine is headed. I am likely to bring it home in five or so years, so putting Mr. Fusion back on may be necessary. I was hoping someone would grow some common sense by then in Washington and either eliminate the EPA or relax these silly standards on working construction and agricultural equipment.

Sorry for the editorializing, but did I mention I very much dislike this added tree-hugger junk?

Anyone offering deletes for these working machines?

Bummer!
I was just diagnosed with KOITLSA Disorder!
Its a psychological thing I'm told...
I know, I never heard of it either!

So. I get my broken knee operated on and repaired, but now my leg hurts and I can't bend it enough to get inside my brand new SVL-95! I'm going nutz! I have a road to smooth out, another to use that tree killin' attachment to clean up the sides so I can mow it this year
And
I have two ponds to finish cutting in the banks on my farm where I used the Kobelco to dig out the "Big-Hole_ water-holdin' area.

Someone please help! :))
