I really want one of these......

.....for my tractor but it's $7500! WTF?!?! Not sure I can justify it for the few small jobs I have. .

 

+ = Same result

 

i have a kubota and i can't justify getting one either

 

John Deere will cause the robot revolution

 

I'm sure you can rent one for the few jobs you need it for.

 

Rent one

 

I want one of these:

 

anyone mention renting one yet?

 

There's a mechanic next door to us selling one that you can drive for less than that

 

The Rocket 3 makes my pants tight when I see one

 

Does that backhoe run off the PTO?

 

This is what you need. For fence posts and Planting trees.

 

I can make do without it but it would make my life easier. I have a shovel and aren't afraid to use it. If i rented everything I wouldn't have as mich cool shit. I have looked into a mini excavator or a bobcat with a backhoe but I like maintaining minimal engines and, while I have a nice size shop (24x40), I'm trying to save floor space for my 4 post lift.

 

Nope......off of the hydraulics.

 

Those are less than $1k with the auger which isn't too bad but my issue is that there is no down pressure so if the soil is full of clay/rocks then it is more trouble than it's worth.

I gotta do about 50 post holes when the weather breaks for another acre of horse pasture. I'll probably just do 10-ish a day with the old clamshells.

Do you even lift?

 

When I'm sitting on the tractor, there's plenty of weight to keep the auger going in the right direction.

 

Anything John Deere is pricey. One of my growers was digging up hardpan with a Liberty and liked the implement.

 

Damn Lem, your wife must make some mad bank????
