I JUST (5 minutes ago) got off my ride working on digging up some stumps, pics later maybe.
As you can see from my avatar (today) I use it to pick up sticks around the yard.
like said - call 811 for utility inspection, CYA, in Va it's the law
look up the greasing threads
dig holes and fill them in for practice.
Go to some of the web sites and watch others on how they do it. I think everything attachments may have a tutorial.
Be CAREFUL not to stress it on the curl when it's close in, has bent rods.
Keep it under cover, don't led the clay cake up.
NOONE within swing range plus a fudge factor.
Be careful of clothing catching on a handle when moving around.
Practice taking it on and off.
And USE it!! You paid for it enjoy the ride!
I LOVE digging up a stump after having done some by hand.
