Default Sold my backhoe today

My long love with a 1975 Case 680 has come to an end today..sold it for 12k

bought the hoe in 91 for 2500 bucks and a wore out horse

hoe was in a farmers field with a tore out rear end and shot full of holes from all the damn kids..............spent the winter totally rebuilding everything

went into business in 92 doing backhoe work of any kind then ended up doing mostly concrete work.............sideline job for me on my 7 days off as my schedule was 7 on and 7 off.....made around 100k per year on the side with it and had 11 other employees all part timers just like me...............we had a blast but the party is over.so long to my backhoe and thankyou for the wonderful memories we had together.. we fixed alot of things together fer sure

anybody want a tripple axle tilt deck trailer???? rated for 26k lbs
