437 was a typo, should have been 473 which is a small bobcat that can't handle much more than 1,000 lbs

Same size of blade as my S650 but I`ll be you can get to job quicker than I can.

I've used a variation of one of those called a Dingo, pita for anything worth while. Sent it back to the ULS shop and used my wheel barrow and shovel as it was easier in the long run and a whole lot quieter. If you were drilling post holes by yourself it might be okay but it would still be easier to rent a post hole auger and hire a kid in the neighborhood to help. It's amazing how many houses, garages, sheds and trucks get hit by those things. lol

It might be ok for a small job but you couldn`t pay me enough to run one of these.

It is a B1700, 13 hp. I have a loader, belly mower, 4' rototiller and a 3pt snowblower. It is older, but well kept so it will last me for as long as I need it.

How does you Kubota handle the 4' rototiller? I want to get a rototiller for my 30 hp JD but don`t want to get one that`s too big for it. My son has a Kubota, they seem to last forever.

Wish I had a small bobcat or skidsteer of some sort, but then again, it would probably just be used for drilling post holes. Wonder if theres some sort of post hole driller thats mounted in a cart that you can just locate over the hole you want to drill.
