2500 hours ? Remarkably flawless condition ! What year is yours ? & what part of the country are you in ? I put a dipper extension on mine with a thumb , made it much more productive & what I lost in lifting capacity I gained in overall productivity , this machine is more of a utilitarian type not so much a brute force machine used for heavy lifting and what not. Best of luck!! And again , nice looking rig for 2500+ hours!
no it is not to big for farm use, for many farm jobs it is just theright size, andto small for bigger farm jobs, tow with minimum 3 ton truck and 14,000 Lb trailer w/ brakes, but you want to have one w/ a thumb for farm work
