I got to spendsome quality time with my CK30 today. A good friend is putting in a 20x20 pole barn for his cows, tractors, and implements and needs to level a spot as well as build a road. He's got an Iseki TU180 with no loader so I offered to help him out.
First thing we did was move a brush pile. It would have easily taken him 30 minutes or more to do it with the equipment he has. It took me 5 minutes
The ground was pretty soft and I was worried about rutting the area up and not being able to move all that well but nothing slowed me down. I can not believe how well the machine goes, especially in slimy mud.
After moving the brush pile he cut 4 trees about 4-6" diameter and I used the FEL to dig them out. After that I used the back blade to smooth everything out. We then started cutting the edge of his drive (about 600') to allow water to flow off the drive into the new "ditch". We moved all the dirt and dumped it over the bank where the new road will veer off the main drive.
All told we spent about 5 hours out there. Had a great time. Here's some pics...
