And if Dutches wife isn't around, he'd get my wife to move it. She actually thinks he's a nice guy. I never did like him. hmmm.... what hobby can I get him hooked on next?

Saw one of those at The Garden Show in Madison. It's pretty small. More suited to a guy with a lot of money who wants to play in the back yard. Kind like us but with a bigger bank account. Be better off getting a powermax with a loader and buying a set of backhoe plans. Paul

Really, it doesn't look that comfortable to use....I would rather rent a "full-size" bob cat/skid steer as they seem to lift just as much, around here used ones go cheap, I reall have considered buying one,-BradW

Hey guys, I was only trying to give you all a "heads up" for that material moving that has to be done in a backyard while you "consider" buying something of your own. That cute little MT-50 will fit through a fence gate, and it sure looks more "comfortable" to use than a wheelbarrow. I don't have any problem moving material at my place, not when neighbors' young wives know I'm a nice guy.

Herb, do you live in Stepford??

Local rental company has a Bobcat MT-50. Seems like just the thing for working in a backyard. But, at $130 for 4hrs, $170 for 24hrs. I'd rather put the $$$ towards a Johnny Bucket.

Herb, Are you going to be doing the same kind of work as shown above with Johnny Bucket? Thats a pretty big rock! will you have enough horsepower? Doug

You can move rocks with a Johnny Bucket. It depends how strong your arm, or the tractor lift is. For the really big rocks, let the wife move them.

maybe even putting a loader on one of your garden tractors would be a suitable alternative too :)

Hey BradW, I've never seen a Bobcat (new or used) that was cheap! They go at a high price (a little less than their weight in gold) around here regardless of condition. Bobcat definitely has a name! Where do you live, Brad? Paul
