A couple of years ago I was mentioning to a friend that I needed to lay some perf pipe to ad on to my leach field. Last night he shows up with a Kabota L35 that he hauled from his home in Kentucky, and says I'll be back to pick it up on Thursday. :)
So I've been learning to run a backhoe this afternoon. The only experiance I have was a long time ago for about an hour. I'm doing ok now but I sure am glad It's out back where nobody can see me doing "the herkey jerkey"! :-[
Wow - Everybody needs friends like that! By the time you're done, you'll have the controls down pat. Enjoy!

I could have a lot of fun with one of those. 'Course the municipality and the neighbours might have other ideas. :)
Where's da pics?????? Or are ya to embarrased to show us your mess????
:o :o :D :D
Brad.
I am not pictorial enabled. :( Need to work on that. The mess ain't too bad in fact it is easier than I thought to keep the grade. But I would sure complain if I was paying someone by the hour to go as slow as me. Found one big rock that I finally went around.It was about three feet down over a foot thick and must be as big as the house,gave up before I found all the edges. >:(
Lucky guy - All I found in my driveway was the new phone book - >:(

I read this thread before I went to bed last night and when I got up there wasn't a backhoe in my driveway :'( :'( :'(
I was hoping a forwarder might have appeared overnight...no such luck.

The only problem is the backhoe fairy is an indian giver! :D it will disappear on Thursday. I know its not a dream because of the rocks that are now on my back yard. :( Any body have the number of the york rake fairy?
