I found a backhoe in my driveway!

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.

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. >:(
