B2150 working

[Andyfr]

Well, although I have not been active on the forum for a while I have been working with the tractor. I took these photos and have been meaning to post them for some time now but have only just got round to it.

This first photo shows the backhoe uprooting Bog Myrtle. I have tied rope around the base and then pull back with the hoe. Piece of cake!

 

[Andyfr]

More Bog Myrtle uprooting but just with the hoe this time.

 

[Andyfr]

Now just get this little rock out!

 

[Andyfr]

Now I can get at the big root.

 

[Andyfr]

Pulling it all together.

 

[Andyfr]

Right! Well a little bit bigger than the last one. Let's see how we get on.

 

[Andyfr]

Well, got it shifted.

 

[Andyfr]

This is how I did it. This is fun.

 

[Andyfr]

Now I can get on with some landscaping.

 

[Andyfr]

Well we decided that we would build an extension to the garage to put the tractor in. So I have to move the oil tank and clear some ground, no problem!

First, get the new concrete slab down for the oil tank - That's it under the green tarp.

 

[Andyfr]

Right! now how do I get in there?

 

[Andyfr]

Hmm. Looks bigger than I thought. I will deal with it later.

 

[Andyfr]

Right, ready to move the oil tank.

 

[Andyfr]

Bit of a tight squeeze. Right, push!

 

[Andyfr]

A bit more!

 

[Andyfr]

That looks about right.

 

[Andyfr]

Yes. Spot on!

 

[Andyfr]

Just got the old slab to get rid of and move that rock.

 

[Andyfr]

After a week end with a concrete breaker the slab is broken but the rock isn't. Maybe this one isn't going to be a push over!

 

[Andyfr]

That's given me an idea! If I dig a big hole at the side and then just roll it in. I can put a bolt in the back of it, attach a rope and pull it in with the hoe. Right dig that hole!
