Well this thing sure is the cats meow! I used it this weekend to knock down an apple tree that had seen better days and then removed the root ball. My wife told me it would have been faster to use the chainsaw to knock it down, but where is the fun in that? It also surprised me with how much it could lift. I have an old 500 gallon propane tank and was able to lift it and move it anywhere I wanted. I didn't like chaining it to the bucket though - any tips/suggestions on welding a hook to the bucket?
I also have some "needs" for more equipment - specifically buckets - I would like to find 3 used buckets, a 36" material bucket that I could also use for light grading, a 24" and an 18" bucket both with teeth for digging. Any ideas on where to look? Craigslist was sparse, and a google search turned up more excavators for sale than just buckets.
