So the wife is always pestering me to work on the "Honey Do" list. She also says I should use those tractors instead of reading about tractors!
So...... Since RedSquare is down today, out came the backhoe for some work. Thought I would post over here since I still have the need to read about tractors, engines and machines.
Needed to remove a large 12 foot Forsythia bush. She wants to do a small garden in this area and this thing took up quite a bit of room. 
Had to dig a trench around the base, hooked up a chain to the front end bucket and yanked it out. Put a beating on the hoe with some of larger roots and rocks but got it done. She hasn't decided if the others will need to go yet so I may be back at again next week.

You are correct. I didn't like the swivel and lift seat idea because the hoe would have to set farther off the back of the tractor. I wanted it tight as possible so I made the tank and valves swivel back and forth. The valves can be pulled towards the operator when the seat is flipped up, then push them back to drop the seat down. For small jobs, I just kneel on the seat.

These are when the power and utility lines to the house were put underground. Trench was about 150 foot long by 4 foot deep.

While searching ads for a hand held earth auger to do some fence posts, I stumbled across an ad for this machine. DIG R MOBILE earth auger machine. Found it very interesting, went to look at it and impulse bought it. I don't really have a need for this much hole digging machine but I'm a sucker for old cool machines. Hopefully I can find some side work for it to help pay the bill.
Everything works but it needs some TLC to get everything tightened up so it drills straight. Made in the 60s by a company called General. Came with it's own factory custom trailer. Just thought I'd share some pics.

My first car was a 1972 Buick Riviera. Bought it cheap from my girlfriends uncle and borrowed the money from my parents. It was a big luxury car with a 454 ci engine.
Suck'n gas and Haul'n ass!
Don't have any pics of that car but this one looks just like it

Here's a manual. Comes as a folded booklet so some views are upside down an sideways but it can be printed and folded if you want one to go with your engine
