Re: Case 680E
Impressive rambling @Eugen ( and the dig work was pretty good too)!
I don’t worry about how much my help is worth when it’s for a friend. Real friends are hard to find. I figure it will even out over time.

Re: Case 680E
The truth is, I'm just really jealous that you can dig so much so fast. It would take me a week with a shovel to do all that.
Assuming I didn't have a stroke halfway through.

Re: Case 680E
Bob, this machine surprised me too. All in all it was at most one and a half hours of digging. It has a big bucket, that backhoe. And obviously I'm not a professional, was quite slow. Let me tell you, the guy was very happy. 
The blow by oil and smoke are quite bothersome though. More and more I'm thinking I must replace that blown piston.

Re: Case 680E


Traded work between friends if it kinda evens out is the best. If it becomes a one sided affair, not so much.
Good job, the more you dig, the better you will get at it.

Re: Case 680E
Practice is practice, putting it back in and tuning it up is the fun part. More practice.
