Got the toothbrush and solvent out this summer. Knock on wood, this machine has cleared my 5 acre lot without too much fuss...not to mention all the neighbourly requests. I like old school machines. The simpler, the better, and this one is a tank. If I could just understand the hydraulics... http://www.flickr.com/photos/90546471@N04/8246451340/in/photostream/lightbox/ I can only marvel at how folks cleared land in the past...it would have taken me years with horse/ox and axe. A 20 ton machine would have done the above in a week or two, while it took me months (very part time). However, land clearing is a component of the job, and when it comes to landscaping, irrigation, fencing, tree planting, then Bobby will really show his worth. It has paid for itself already, I am sure. Only once, I almost got 'stumped' with a 5 headed beast (stump)...root pan was almost 20ft across. But I had lots of logs lying about, and I used one for leverage (pry bar)... and presto, out it came. Had a tough time dragging it to the burn pile...lol</p></blockquote><p></p>
