I first operated a 2 handle ditch witch, then went to work for a company that had 4 stick Case machines. I was very dangerous on those machines. They later went to 2 stick machines. I did like the Case Extend-A-Hoe

After using a skidloader all the time this hoe feels like im driving a school bus around. Its big.

 

[phatdaddy]

never operated a skid steer before. Hopped in one to move it out of the way, couldn t even figure out how to start it. They are do-all machines. One of those and a mini-ex can build just about anything.

HAHA. I drive dump truck. One company told me to go load my own truck, asked if i can run a front end loader. I said I never ran one before but ill try. Took 15 min to figure out how to take the brake off.
