Thanks for all the info guys- I don't know if I will try this or not.
Mobilus- I have run the numbers twice now with diffent materials and options- buying from Northern tool, I think I would come in at 20% -30% higher than I would if I bought a trailer just right down the street. Everything adds up where it's suppose to be until you get to the axels, brakes and wheels.

I do have one other option- I could have the trailer company do the frame, axels, wheels and lights- (just enough to make it road worthy) and than I could finish it up. If I took that route I would probably avoid everything this board was about. I hope everybody could forgive me.

Spent about 4 hours looking for a broken water line located right next to a transformer. Didnt find the water line, but I did find the elecrical line. Cracked the conduit but didnt damage the line. After changing my drawers it started raining, so it's water line 1, me 0.

Sorry- you asked specifically about the price- but before I say anything that you could take me to court over-

Does this machine have a hydrostatic transmission? If it does, it's worth about $1500.

With hydro, tractor and mower I would expect to see it listed at $10,500 to $12,000. I'm guessing a new back hoe would be betweent $5000 and $6500. So yes, I think It's a fair price- probably even a good price.

I also want to know where this info is coming from. I dont doubt it's semi-accurate, but things like income and college education? If they would have known that I am making $350,000 after graduation from MIT it would have changed those graphs.

Since we are on the subject of building a better mousetrap, what's wrong with this idea: Instead of using an I beam for the rail and frame, using 2 4" pipes that would act as a cradle for the log. The ram would weld to larger pipes that would sleeve over the 3"ers.

The light bulb price is the best in town (Dallas) and we are getting everything at 10% discount. The ballast price is also the best (because it's the only) price in town, but it's coming from L.A.

The total price includes $12.50 for the lamp, and $40.00 for the ballast. It's all or nothing because one doesnt work with out the other. The fixture is most likely to blame in causing the an overheat situation, however the engineers insist the fixture is good, the ballast folks say the design is wrong, the lightbulb folks want me to try another brand which is couple buck more expensive. While everybody argues about what is going on, my costomers dont have lights.

I know these things are under warranty, but honestly I would need to hire a full time guy just to keep track of light bulb paperwork if I took that route.

How about mixing? I'm open to ideas. If you look at my profile you can see that I am blessed with equipment. So, using what I have, how would anybody mix 3 80 lb bags of portland into 1 cu yd of material?

Refering to you last post, simpler is absolutely best. Are you familar with Oggens Razor? I try to keep that in mind when I get too far into new projects.

How these trails were laid in the beginning was like this: Dump trucks, 4 RTV's with power dump beds, and about 15 guys who crossed the Rio Grand the previous week. I have the RTV in the form of the Gator, but I don't have the labor.

I was told a while back that any JD between 20 and 40 HP would have a Yanmar under the hood. Is this incorrect?

I could have been looking at a similar model... but, another thing I realized last night as I was looking at the dealer web site- I was looking at a State Fair model which had been used to pull around livestock trailers- probably 20 hours on it. SO, disregard that entire post. (Usually this dealer has some really good deals right after the fair.)

coopkc,
I know you came here for one piece of advice... and you might not end up with a real direct answer. I'm afraid I wouldn't recomennd a garden tractor to anybody except a home owner with say, a half acre lot... because... I think that with your wooded area, and a full acre to contend with, you would probably out grow the little guy. Or, even if you didnt, you may never get to the jobs a larger machine would let you get to.
My only direct sugestion would be, when looking around, look a little harder at machines with a catagory 1 3 point hitch. This will buy you more possibilities (outside of mowing) in the future.

earthwrks,
any idea of the price of the blade in the first photo? I would be very interested in one of these, but I have a feeling they are pricey.

I was told the backhoe thw back hoes was a lower quality unit. Low breakout force, thinner gauge steel than other hoes, and also about half the price.

How about the water pump? Could it be freezing up just past idle? Could you have a loose belt that starts slipping a higher RPM?

I just checked the web site and found nothing. I would be interested in the price- I bet at least $2000 more than a Deere w/ same hp. While I was at their site I checked into Toolcats again. If I could get one of those and one of the splitters Candoarms just found, my wife would never see me again. But, $30,000 for a utility vehicle and $5000 for a wood splitter is a little too much. (I could get two CC 3200's for that- and one would have a backhoe!)
