From our skid steer buying trip

[Farmer Kitty]

Here are some pics I took out the truck windows on our way to buy the skid steer today.

This first one, is of course, the skid steer.

Just a nice pine tree.

A mine for, I believe, sand.

An old log cabin.

Hawk on the utility pole.

Just some scenery.

Unfortunately there are to many of these. This was once a barn.

Anyone know what these are? We came over a hill and there they were. I was rather suprised to see them as there are not alot of them around here. Holsteins, jerseys, herfords, charlois, angus, I could find plenty of to take pics of but, not these guys!

Cool pictures Kitty!

I need a skidsteer, dad wants his baby Kubota back!

Theres a big nice barn not far from here, that looks like it might not be standing much longer, it's sad.

I think them last critters are them mooing sheep I keep hearing about!

Thank you.

No, you need a tractor.

It is sad to think of all those lost barns and the history that goes with them.

thats a nice looking skidsteer.did yall dragg the old 1 on the trailer an trade it in.i love pics of old barns.we have 2 old barns on the home place that are well over 100yrs old.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

No, we didn't trade the old one in. They would have just laughed at it as it's not running well at all.

 

[wynedot55]

well DH may get it running good enough to sell or keep as a back up.

I believe he has given up on it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have bought a different one.

Kitty: If you put tracks on that skidsteer loader, you'll really have a great machine. I have a 873 Bobcat, and put tracks on it. It was basically useless in snow/mud without them.

How are them skidsteers on the body?
I use dads baby Kubota with a scraper, to scrape the slabs, pens or where ever else my tractor won't fit.
After yesterday, today I feel like somebody put me in a barral and rolled me down a hill while I was sleeping!

they are very hard to climb in an out of.you have to climb in them behind the bucket.
