Yep. I used to do that with my old IH2500b. Found some good stuff. I was thinking of painting the bucket white with a red tip. Lots of old metal embedded in the ground along the old RR right of way. Tposts from fencing. Angle irons. Box springs. All partially covered by RR ballast or dirt from dredging the drainage ditches.Loader down near ground- excellent technique Just keep the bucket lip curled upward (if it’s attached)
I like reversing when cutting around trees in new fields. People tend to discard junk near them and limbs tend to fall and get hidden in tall grass.
But the radiator and transmission cooler were constantly getting plugged. I do like the air cooled engine in the rear of my little machine. Gotta keep an eye on the cooling passages around the heads once in a while, but not nearly as often as the old IH.
