I found an Backhoe prepared for an Iseki for about 800€ but without any pic. about 200km far. If it was fully extend, it shall reach a height of 5,80meter. the technical Data‘s sounds interesting about that thing so I give the Owner a phonecall, where he told me pics sent is out of his knowledge, too fizzely for him... Than i asked few things about the backhoe ahead and what he tell‘s me sounds very interesting, only the hydraulics was a bit a problem, but i will see it if i take a closer look, also even price can be bargain a bit after seeing it because of Hydraulics... Thinking about how to move it home but it was two pieces they shall may be fit into Trunk. Ok Hydraulics is not a problem, i built a FEL, i can fix that... So i decide i must have a closer look to it. Take the key‘s from „the Sleeper“ and put it on the Road for a Short Haul let‘s get fire in the house. headed to Niederbayern, close to CFR border. On the Autobahn i put it to relaxing 215Km and push the cruise control and fired down a nearly complete y empty Road. Long story short I arrived the „unicorn welding“ after 2,5h where lot’s of things laying arround. Few very nice machines and lot of scrap, the company looks they stopped Work maybe 10 years ago. The than i see a older guy going in my direction. Are you Horst - yes, i‘am come in... we turned arround the shop and he present‘s me „The backhoe“ when i see that fragment‘s what he meant „ a good usable condition“ was in my opinion honestly „just Trash“, not even worth a Pict or even the restmetal that was available. It was not rustfree steel, it was steelfree rust. what was formerly hinges, was just a rotten part’s of steel with no bushings, bolts or even similar. They are nearly completely gone, just gently fragments where they went in the past, can be felt because here the rust was bit rougher. on 2 holes they be available where may be possible 100years ago greasenipples, but i bet they be never used. not even a tiny bit of grease on the whole rustbucket can be seen. Even if it was really long times ago a working backhoe, he raped it that far, that i now is just garbage not worth a penny. I can‘t resist to ask him I just see some fragment‘s they nothing have to do with the other parts and asked you mean that is a Backhoe? Not the truth - isn‘t it? For me it looked more he was searching for an idiot, who clean up his trash. no hydraulics - uh ya, the cylindres they gonna be broken... i removed them.. slowly i understand why „he is not able to sent picts.“ i do it same Way - no picts - just asked him if he is definitively sure, his brain was ready ? I doubt.... what that trash be valued of 200 bucks in my pocket to remove it, that‘s worth nothing. Wtf. Added on that i jumped short over the border to grab few Boxed of Cigaretts, so just half the way was trashed. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
