To top it off, I had to rip through frozen ground to really make any headway. I have one more foot to go down and 5 feet more in width. Finding few places left to dump the dirt for storage until later.
I have abused this machine far beyond it's intended use. PT makes a strong product.

Update on the project. I'm now digging the footings out which is taking some time as I rip the soil lose then take the bucket and take each load to my stock pile which is 50 yards away.

Just a shed. Was going to be 24 X 24 but ended up with 20 X 24. Its two story, lower is tractor shed and the top is the garden shed for my wife. She gained big time as whatever the tractor part would be she gets on top.
As usual, don't really need any new shed but it sure is fun.

Well, that is certainly a lot of soil to move. I am very impressed. I thought the rock wall project was impressive, but this one tops it. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hard to believe but I finished the digging of the trenches for the garage footings. That little tractor did a fine job.

This is a shot of the Honda ES6500 generator I bought on Ebay. That little tractor with the forks on drove right in the Suburban and lifted the generator (325 lbs) right out. Now I'm ready to start working on the new garage when the contractor is finished with his current project. It will be just he and I on this project.

The little tractor that could! Mighty impressive.

Forks are real handy, too. If only we could figure out a way to make them self leveling, they would be the cat's meow! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Paul:

How many hours did you put on your pt digging that hole? Its hard to believe that the mini hoe could dig a hole that big.
