Question: Hi,Chad here with Blue Diamond Farms LLC. I am fully licensed and insured with upto 50,000 full replacement cargo insurance. I will be out there before the end of the month and would be willing to do this load for $2,500( that includes transport, insurance). Please check out my feedback. If you have any questions just shoot. I want to get the details worked out, because this month is filling up fast. Thank you for your time and I hope to be of service to you. (9/5/2007)
Response: Hi Chad, $2500 sounds good for hauling the Backhoe. Do you have room for a 1986 4x4 toyota truck on that load? and if so how much extra would that be. Thanks Kris (9/5/2007)
Response: I don't know if there would be room. We need to make sure what the measurement is from the front edge of the loader to the backside of the knuckle just above the back bucket. I can overhang the rest of the boom. The truck can't go on the back because of to much wieght on the truck. Also at the pickup location do they have a skid steer we could gain another foot or so by taking the front bucket off and sitting it under the backhoe arm. If it will fit how much would it weigh also you may want to check on the weight of the backhoe. Looking at it now I'm not sure if that is right. (9/6/2007)
Response: I looked up the weight of the backhoe online for this model and it was listed at 12800 lbs, but I have a 16" bucket for the hoe that I want to put in the front bucket and it weighs a couple hundred pounds. Thats why I listed it at 13000. As for the Toyota truck, no big deal I can wait on that. (9/6/2007)
Response: OK it's looking like the week of the 24th before I can be there (9/6/2007)
Response: I made a mistake on the weight of the Backhoe, the weight that was given to me was for the 2 wheel drive standard hoe and mine is a 4x4 extended hoe, so the approx. weight is 15,500 lbs instead of the 13,000 lbs. Can you let me know if there will be a difference in shipping. (9/6/2007)
Response: No the weight difference isn't a concern, I told you that I would ship for $2,500 and thats what i'll ship it for. Thanks, Chad. (9/6/2007)
Response: Hi Chad, I noticed there is no bid on Uship from you and I would like to accept your bid. (9/7/2007)
