Here is my TB153FR. I traded it for another just like it this last Winter. The new one looks identical except its shiny and it came with a payment book.

Here are a couple of pictures of my ec15. Everyone seems to like to explain to me that its too small. But, it gets the job done. The pictures near the pool are of a pad we made where I brought in 150+ tons of crushed concrete and crushed limestone with a 3,000 liter dumper (120 tons of which were put down in a day). It's a handy little machine. Some days it's parked on a stock pile loading a dumper, other days its being used for trenching and utility jobs or tight access work.

A few pictures from a tight access job from this winter. The backyard of this house used to slope right up to the existing concrete patio. I couldn't get the backhoe in on this job. I rented a zero turn yanmar 2.5 ton mini for a day but between the smaller 40cm digging bucket and the fact that the rental place had turned down the relief pressure (to the point where the machine barely could lift itself off the ground), I was actually moving more dirt with my little ec15 (and not paying rental charges).

Yair . . . Way O/T but in that link roadbuilder6 posted there is a house with a fairly flat pitched roof in the background . . . a flatpitched roof such as would be "normal" in these parts.

Are such roofs built on extra strong framing to handle the snow loads and when does it become necessary to increase the pitch to shed snow . . . and how much does (say) a cubic foot of snow weight.

Apologies to the original poster for going off track with the thread.

Cheers

Mowing with my 305.5

Haha, its fine, it was an old abandoned garage that was starting to cave, (the main support beam in back was cracked all the way through because a tree fell on it) that i demolished and regraded.

Bought mine on Valentine's Day. 2010 KX121-3 with a 6 way blade.


I have a few videos on my Youtube Channel. http://www.youtube.com/RutherfordConLLC

300.9D. Tiny and absolutely ridiculous (I've had a lot of people laugh at me).
Sometimes I wish we were running a more stable machine, but it does its job reasonably well.

Thanks for posting, Hypnolobster. Now I don't feel so bad. LOL. 301.5, small, 5 gal a day, and paid for.

We have a Case CX50B. I had to find a water line 8' deep to tie into for my shop. There was a definite line where the 2' of fill was hauled in after the house was built in the late 60ies. I have an 18" and a 36" bucket.

There have been many, many times that I would have loved to have that machine on a job.

BTW, welcome to the Forums!:drinkup

I was looking forward to this thread 'taking off' so to speak with the popularity of mini ex's. Seems rather slow. Come on guys and gals lets get them pics rolling in.

Bobcat 331 Land clearing



Burning the slash...bit tricky with a small machine and rubber tracks, but even if one is literally roasting inside the cab in winter with the AC on full, the machine seems to take it without much fuss. Have to be careful of flying embers...had a few come into cab through an open window and burn my clothing...

Picture is a little snowy!!!!!!!

Pictures of my smaller mini, TB025, doing a sewer hook up. It has given me 3000 hrs of trouble free use, and I often select it over a bigger machine because of the lower operating costs, reliability, and its just plain a battle hardened veteran!

It may be fugly but it beats a pick and shovel. :jawdrop
Look at it this way - it has tinted glass.

It's a Mitsubishi MS 035 grey market, a 3-1/2 tonner. This was one of a last series of models before Cat took them over. It's simple, has all mechanically operated valves, yet it has boom/cab swing. Don't know the date codes but my guess is mid/late '80's. Has about 1,200 hours on it now. Printed information on this machine is impossible to find.
