Pictures of tractors

NICE set up there. I have excavator envy. I want to buy one but have a hard time justifying it. So, for now I plan to rent one for two weeks or a month for the next couple of years. Or maybe every other year. It is for my trails. To clear the sides. Last year I used a brush cutter attachment on a JD 35 long arm and WOW. What an awesome piece of machinery. Loved it.
 
I was in your shoes......should I hire out building trails and removing trees or buy the excavator and do the work myself on my schedule. I would have had a lot of money paying someone to do the work. After thinking about it and knowing how heavy equipment hold their value, I pulled the trigger. I'm glad I did!!! I absolutely love this excavator!!! Pull up to a tree, put the bucket up against it, and push it over.....absolutely awesome!!!

I was going to get the KX040 but after watching YouTube videos on excavators removing trees, the weight of the KX080 made the job look effortlessly. My assumption was correct! This thing is a beast for a mini excavator.

I love the LS tractor as well. I do a lot of brush hogging during the summer on my food plots & current roads and this thing hasn't missed a beat. Great machine, although I only have 75 hours on it.
 
Here's my Kubota's. And my son trying the backhoe.
And, a group photo of my Kubota's, the 1952 and 1955 Allis Chalmers CA's, the two all original 1971 Massey Ferguson 7's, and my 1967 Ford 3000 diesel.
