John Deere Skid Steer & Mini Excavators

actually my 270 has a hard life all i do with it is demo work i tear out footings and i buried a house and dug a basement and have moved thousands of yrds of dirt and clay with it and i have a 84 inch tooth bucket on it i move logs with it and tear out trees so far it has been the toughest skid loader i have ever had as far as the resale i dont really care i paid 20 cash for it with 150 hrs and full warenty i got it to use for myself but i have done jobs for other people and already made back the price of the loader and plenty extra......what i really like about the loader is the motor it is the same one that our555g crawler has in it .what i cant understand is that there are piles of the 200 s running around here and i hear the same thing hardly no problems and they love them i am not brand loyal i want what works and what has the best dealer suport and right now right here it is deere hands down they are only 3 miles from my house ........i love to run heavy equpment i have been working with a buddy dig ponds i have been running a D8L and a D7H while he runs the track hoes a 330 and a 225 we dug one last fall that was 3 acers and 60 foot deep we put 940 hrs on the d7 it was before we got the d8

jd what did you do with all the dirt that came out of the 3 acre pond?

a lot of it went into a ravine on the othere side and some went to a friend of the guy who owens the pond ....the other thing we did is he wanted 6 feet of clay lining the whole pond and that is with a 2 to 1 slope around the sides
