Petey's next new toy...or so he wishes!

Yup, he's got one of these in his sights, but ....$35K+ is a bit much!
However, we have been shopping on Craig's List...again...and have found it to be a good source for used skid steers!
We recently went to Denver to pick up a flat file cabinet for me, another amazing find on Craig's List, and while there we looked at skid steers from Craig's Listings. The news is...we may be buying one next month. Its a 99' John Deere, and the best news is... it is being sold with a backhoe attachment! It doesn't have a full glass enclosure like the one in the photo below, but it does have clear canvases that snap/velcro inside to keep the wind or rain off the operator...Did I just say RAIN??? Oh... let's revise that to SNOW.

Anyway, the versatility of this type of equipment will be great on the property...one day.
We'll keep you posted for late February should we bring the beast home. And we're still looking for a snow blower attachment...there are SO many attachments for these skid steers its amazing. Ladies, it surpasses the kitchen gadget addiction by MILES.
