[Dirtman2007]

So this evening I went and picked up and 2007, case CX36B mini excavator with 270 hrs on it. Came with a plate packer and a 24" bucket.

[YellowDogSVC]

Very nice find!

[AWJ Services]

Why buy a machine just to get a plate compacter?:)

[stuvecorp]

Don't ya see, Chris - your flip-flops match very well with PowerTan.

That's what you were going for, right?:)

Holy crap, I found something Chris did wrong! He hooked the binder on the rub rail, not in the stake pocket..

Other than that looks good, but please step away from the powertan, chris, before you become a little KSSS.. :laugh:

Tell your buddy to get out of the stone age and get a quick coupler, popping pins is so lame.

He probably doesn't want to cripple the breakout of a Case hoe any more than it already is. :laugh: :drinkup:

LOL I've always hooked them on those round bars as the pockets bend and just arn't as strong.... so it looks like I was right after all! :laugh:

I tell you case has a funky changing setup, pull these two clips and a locking pin falls out and you just tap the two pins out. It only took 5 minutes to swtich the bucket to the packer.

He's going to trade/ sell the plate packer for a nice hydraulic thumb and two new buckets anyways.

Personally I would opt for the Yanmar VIO or Takeuchi TB154 sitting in the shed than the orange painted Kobelco. But just my personal preference.

And I couldnt see the round bars, so it doesnt count. And you bent a stake pocket, but not the rub rail? ;)

Couldnt yall use a platepacker to save from using a jumping jack? You could just change the ears and pin holes to fit the yanmar or something like Minimax does to his buckets couldnt you?

thats definetly a tan, like a crap, ugly boring kinda tan.. :hammerhead: :laugh:

[Gravel Rat]

That sort of looks like the same bucket set up you see on a rubber tired hoe.

A thumbless machine should be outlawed how can you have a machine without a hydaulic thumb :laugh:

Ron has been spotted at Parker Pacific drooling over some power tan equipment :hammerhead:

[Craaaig]

Thats true, but don't tell no one! :laugh:

Junior,

Case excavators are actually rebadged Kobelco's, same as the new Holland excavators. In Aus it is quite strange in a 3 tone machine for example you can get exactly the same digger in green(Kobelco), orange(case) or yellow(New Holland). All priced differently and all with different length warranties, but under the paint they are all exactly the same. Often on the Case machines they still have the Kobelco quality assurance stickers on them still

I knew that. I was simply refering to what you referred to the color of CASE as..
