[QUOTE="864wood, post: 213, member: 38"] I will go and assist Team Fountain with his conundrum with the combo. He has assured me it won't be too painfull. I did however come up with a new use for combo. I was mucking out a pre dug foundation that had recieved 4 days of rain. The footer needed to be dug but the sides had caved in, there was 6" of slop in the bottom and it was dug wrong. I chased all of the slop out dressed up the sides, but the worst was digging out the embankements that were 6' off backset and elevation from footer height to grade was 9'. Digging staight into embankment is tedious and hard work, and often not successful and mostly time consuming. Elevate bucket in fully open position. Raise bucket to above grade and shave off bite size chuncks. Once again you'd have to see to understand, but it worked great. I cut a shelf back 10'x14'x9' in less than 30 min. Thats cutting and hauling out of hole, in mud. By shaving the dirt and loosening you could be assured of a full bucket every time. The foreman pouring the footers freely said that that was the fastest operation, the neatest job and the most awesome bucket he has ever seen on a bobcat. He does 2-3 foundations every 7 days and said I would get alot-o-work from him. [/QUOTE]
