oh it has been
I dug up a (mostly) intact bradford pear saturday/sunday. split only because I started late saturday and then couldn't get out there til sunday afternoon. doubt it took more than half an hour total. maybe 45 minutes. Getting the bucket control down bit by bit, digging into soft dirt is easy, yanking trees out is a bit of a challenge. Had a bit of a show&tell saturday afternoon as well, let a couple buddies try their hand at the backhoe. some did surprisingly well, some, were all thumbs as it were.
