Dgodgr_ Yes.. My #1 435 has 9000 hours still running strong. We have rebuilt the section of the boom where the stick attaches a number of times. I am going to say 3 or 4. The last time we brought on a professional and it has been holding up well. The amount of abuse the machine takes with a head shaker and hammer is substantial. My #2 435 has had a few problems, like the swing brake having to be rebuilt at 3500 hours and a clogged up fuel line that we never did figure out. All in all they have been good to me and I just took delivery of the e55 and am waiting on a t770. I can get to Bobcat of the Rockies in an hour and a half so it is a good arrangement parts and service wise. Not the mention my dealer is a very close friend.
CM- The waterproofing on the walls?? All I can say, is that it is Aspen. Lot's of strange rules and regulations up here. On the
backfill, we run it all through a grizzly to 6" minus, pays for itself in less clean up and easier to work with. Our problem is all the oversize...8" to 24". We use it wherever we can, for rip rap, channels and such, but we always end of sending a bunch to the landfill... for $160.00 a load.
Sorry the fotos are not in order but I figure a bunch of dirt hands can figure it out.
