Welcome back to the Rest Of The Story pardon the wind it's pretty windy out we are on
our way home from getting parts this isn't our typical
dealership we normally go to when I saw this sitting out front
you know what I've never been near one of these that close. It's a John Deere 30g excavator or mini excavator oh the
trouble I could get into with one of these it's not a very big machine it's
it's classified as a light duty excavator I've never really been in one
never had the chance to really use one but I tell you what I could get into a lot of
trouble with it it's got the bucket grapple on it it's got the teeth on the
bucket myself I have no idea what these are all capable of doing but it
comes to working in dirt or even pulling stumps up cuz for me
personally I'd probably use it more for digging tree stumps out because let you
in on a secret I have a stump right now that is at the end of one of my fields
now I want to dig up and the Bobcat isn't quite strong enough to do it.
so I was looking at possibly renting one just to dig it out
that is the horn - but for being a compact machine it is fairly comfortable
I mean the pedals here for me being six foot one that's kind of tight but it's
what the handles are for this is a look out of the front end it's all it has for
a console on it for control and everything oh I'm really not qualified
to do much on excavation equipment because I've never been around it
what everybody says I should be looking at instead a big tracked 333 G skid steer
my self I'm partial to the 330 G over here - the turf or the concrete tires the asphalt tires
on it get the regular bar tires that 318 has on it myself when it comes
time where I have the money available to buy a skid steer this is the machine I
would like a 332 with tires on it I just can't convince myself to go to
tracks I just can't I've heard a lot about them they're a
little bit more upkeep the tracks when it does come time to replace them can be
kind of a nightmare tires in their own right are a pain when
it comes to replacing them having them go flat or anything like that but I just
feel a lot more confident with tires and it's also kind of like a safety thing
because if I had a track machine this big with my grapple bucket on the front
I think you guys just about imagine what I would get into out the woods pushing brush
and clearing our pastures off cuz right now my intentions are just to hire a
dozer to come in and clear them out if I had something like this available and I can
go through and do it myself I can guarantee I'd be going out and I'd
be pushing brush, trees, and everything else over that I could with this but
something like this for our operation down at my place my place is really
needs a revamp on it as far as the buildings I'd like to start pushing more
cattle down at my place get a little bit more concrete around the buildings and
get a steer shed in of some way shape or form a skid steer down in my place would
be really nice it's gonna happen it's it's unavoidable
I might not be buying a brand new machine to be down in my place to use
but I'll do something it'll be used if
anything these guys are just a little too small nice and compact but I need
something that's got the go power behind it that's all I got for this guys Take
care Take it easy Keep in touch
you
