Got my first vehicle!

Well guys, the time has come, i've finally bought my first vehicle... cash

It's a John Deere 510D Backhoe/loader

I'll be using it mainly to clear land, dig foundation and lift logs for our house upstate NY. I think I've said this before but we're building a log cabin from scratch up there.
We're doing all of the work ourselves

Enjoy

(btw, more pics to come, just not now)

That's a nice piece of equipment. I'm jealous.

Where in upstate? I have property near Ticonderoga.

The closest knowable (is that a word) town is probably Monticello or port Jervis, but the actual town we're in is lumberland

Okay, I know the area quite well. I used to go fishing up at Delaware Water Gap and my son lives just up the road from you in Liberty.

I also used to go fishing and hunting up near Ellenville and Wurtsboro.

It's actually not that loud, it's a nice machine to operate for a 1970

loudness doesnt concern anyone around here. what concerns me is the water runoff from the entire road into my yard because nobody keeps up with their ditches. id dig a ditch the lord would be proud of and iritate everyone. private road so the county wont service it.

Lucky! How much did you get it for, if I may ask?

Now you can do side jobs with this!

7k Cash

And yes, side jobs would be optional if I only had a "rig"... this baby weighs in at over 10 tons

If I were you, I would try to rake up some cash to purchase a 3/4 to lug this around. You can gain a profit. You know it.

People who don't have this kind of equipment would be wanting something done and if you have a good price , it can help you and the person who wants the job done.
