    Question from a future builder

    Question from a future builder

    You know I missed that.

    $17,500 would go a long way toward a larger, used machine.

    I've got a mid 80's case 580E I paid 13,500 for some 10-12 years ago.

    Question from a future builder

    I just checked out your specs.

    Don't waste your time on a hoe for that. According to their website they don't even offer it.

    TOO SMALL FOR HOE. 24 hp and weighing in under 2000 pounds.

    Costs to build?

    Tim - One question Where do you plan to build?

    I would also be willing to bet that house shrinks some after the class.

    I know mine did -- at least in my mind!

  14. Not many in Feb's class? Right around the corner for me!! :)

    Larry Your post did not get deleted!!!

    I think Steve moved it to the members only section.

    He must have thought it was from the most recent Jan. class and not the upcoming Feb. class.
