That was pretty cool.
Tractor?
Looks like a backhoe/frontend loader to me.
It is pretty snazzy though.....
That's not a tractor. It's an oversized riding mower with attachments.
We're putting an addition on our house and he's doing all the digging and heavy lifting. And I DO mean heavy!! While digging, our sons encountered a rock that was about 6' wide, 4'across the top and about 3' thick!! They were able to peel a few layers off the top of it, each one about 6" thick, but then we had to get a jackhammer to it. That helped peel off 4 MORE layers of the same thickness. Finally #1 son used the bucket as a sledgehammer and just whacked away at it, then dragged at it again. He pulled off several more layers and finally got the thing out of the ground!!
We were afraid we'd encounter ledge, but that's the only big rock we found, thank goodness!!
Nice ride! When are you pickin' me up?!
