I know just what you mean. I have a big 4x4x4 JCB 217S backhoe with a "hot rod" engine that would just love to be down there moving trees and anything else out of the way.
We're cut from the same cloth- I must have learned it from my Mom & Dad, because as far back as I can remember, if there was work to be done, they'd get down on the ground, up in a tree, whatever, and pitch in.
I can hear 'em now, "Don't stand there like a bump on a log!"
