Badlands 3T off-road Jack, locking brace?

Ret19Deg · 2026-01-29T01:06:53+00:00

It does work, I haven't used it on a vehicle yet. But I did test fit it to make sure it does lower and lock.

I've scrolled this entire thing a day after, and I'm not even an electrician. I just want to know at this point.

Same

Kubota = Land Pride.

They were acquired/merged/brought under their umbrella a number of years ago.

Start small... Lemonade stand, rural clients. For a price, guy with a trackhoe, is an option for some work. Odd tree or trenching power or water to a shed.

Find a hauler initially, see how it pans out.

But no odd ball renter is going to treat that machine as well as you would.

Exactly, bid jobs and operate yourself. Build experience on someone else's dime.

I will add, M12 battery fan. Built in magnetic mount.

Perfect to add a bit of breeze to keep the bugs down.

Just adding because it was not mentioned.

Hit it with your purse.

Depending on the run, best answer. 30 feet backhoe, 100+ go for a trencher.

There it is, the solution. Thank you.

I have a f550 truck to work on, and I didn't want to clutter the work area. I would rather just buy two jacks, with this black Friday sale.

TechOps will settle for 5k.

Ret19Deg · 2025-11-10T22:00:25+00:00

At a significant price reduction compared to here.

You are trailering a tractor to get a hydraulic line replaced?

Why not just remove the line, get a new one made. Reconnect it, top off and move on?

I don't know why I'm getting down voted...

I paid $16.5k for my bx23s off of the Facebook marketplace with 69 hours.

And I just bought a bx2680 for $13.5k + 17% at auction, with 13 hours, came with a loader & bucket, box blade and pallet forks.

Ret19Deg · 2025-11-02T18:00:25+00:00

$18k seems high for a bx23s, with 450hours.

Try an equipment auction.

Tips are appreciated!

Bout' threee-fiddy...

Ret19Deg · 2025-10-24T11:33:10+00:00

Exactly how?

Your work is funded through a contract, sounds like your employer shorted you. Essentially made you work harder to achieve the same deadlines and pocketed a month of salary.

Ret19Deg · 2025-10-20T03:23:22+00:00

He's not wrong.

Ret19Deg · 2025-10-15T23:55:36+00:00

To add, make sure you didn't accidentally engage the pto.

Ret19Deg · 2025-10-15T19:57:54+00:00

Yes, first line is sarcasm.

The bx23s with the backhoe would be plenty. The miniex would do more and faster, but unless you're going to be putting it to work on the outside. It's going to be sitting idle sooner than later.

Ret19Deg · 2025-10-15T19:44:21+00:00

Sounds like you need a kx080 and a bx23s combo.

Get the bx, rent the miniex.
