I finished the unit Tuseday night and got my first chance to play last night. I was really impressed with the power and how easy it was to operate. Operating the unit was almost as much fun as building. I will post the photographs as soon as I can figure out how to make them below 100kb. Any suggestions?

Great job on your hoe. I built 4- 708 hoes from Cad plans and I am continually modifying it to make it better. I changed the outriggers from manual to hydraulic. strengthed the whole assembly. Added depth to the digging capacity and put Joysticks on it I see like yours. I use a rounded bucket. I have since sold three of them and still playing with one. Wife is getting sick of finding chop sticks around my holes but I am having fun. Building a smaller lighter one now for smaller tractors but I like the 708 the best Have fun digging. Those rickshaws are hard to get out of the holes but it can be done.
