Also, Hanabal is thinking about getting rid of his backhoe, in favor of a smaller one he can haul with a pick-up. The current one is only a backhoe, and he can find smaller models that accept attachments, like post hole augers, and mowers, so that he can find more work. That seems like a good plan to me, for a couple of reasons. One, to have the diversity that you've mentioned. And, two -- I think a lot of the available work will probably be easily done with smaller equipment, such as digging footings for additions, greenhouses, etc... (need smaller, very mobile equipment to get into some of the tighter spots). We've noticed a couple of the backhoe guys around here are working with much smaller equipment now and I think that might be why. ~croc

If I was 20 years younger, and not convinced that they are all donorcycles, I might get one for work. Could probably get 8 months service a year out of it, although it would be pretty cold on a March night when it was about 25 degrees. However, since I work Thurs, Friday, and then 13 more weeks, why bother? My driving should drop by 80%. well, you could set up a motocross course on your own property! You'd have your own health club right out he back door, and maybe you get that 20 years younger, and nobody would try to run over you either! I'd love to ride one of those silent bikes, that would be so much fun out on trails. The silence would be eerie when riding around town, might want some big speakers belting out Wagner, like in Apocalypse Now when the helicopters storm the beach.
