digging with my BX22

[yakima]

My BX22 pulled up this rock without even batting an eye. This rock was actually quite impressive in size, but the photo didn't seem to do it justice. I love my kubota!!!

Something in that picture looks really wrong....................... the 'bota is too clean! Do you have the 12" or 10" bucket? That is a nice size stone...

Isn't it funny how our mind's eye plays tricks on us and makes that rock grow and shrink while we're not lookin'.

My personal theory is that while we're digging it up we're a thinkin' how many shovelfuls of dirt, how many gunts and heaves with our back to the pick it would take to get that rock outa there and contributiong some usefulness, say as a member of that rock wall in the background. That rock just grows and grows in size while thats happening.

Then the task is done, and the Kubota's sittin' there clutching that rock, all proud and beaming for picture takin'. But while you went to get the camera that rock shrunk back down to the manageable size it is since the Kubota's around to keep it honest.

Anyway, that's my theory, and I'm a sticking to it.

BTW, If that wall in the background was built by hand, how many hours you figure it took to make them rocks useful.

I say let's all take a moment and tip our hat to our forefathers who figured out shaft hard chroming and developed high pressure hydraulic systems.*G*

Take care and have fun with you new equalizer.

Seems the tiller on my BX does a nice job of finding rocks that size.

No, no... really..... that was a BOULDER, fer sure, when it came out of the ground!! Boulder, gravel, does it really matter?? Ha ha. It was humongous. You shoulda seen the fish I caught today...

If your boulders shrink like that when they are exposed to air. Then I'm goona have to dig up my whole property and expose it all to air. At least there would be some good seat time.

In response to your question, the bucket is 10".

Not to be nosy, but what does a rig like that go for?
I sure would like to have one like that.
