Got to use the tractor :)

4shorts · Sep 2, 2012

Not often I get to use it in the summer months because It's used only for snow clearing. Wifey said the front fence had to go and she ordered 67 Hedge plants to go in it's place. Problem #1. No back hoe attachment but I decided to dig it with the front bucket. Actually worked out pretty good considering there were a few big rocks here and there. Got to use the forks to move a few things around as well.

After I got it all dug out I filled it with top soil and did the planting. Man it was sure nice to sit in the air conditioned cab and I almost forgot how nice the air ride seat felt

Wifey is very happy now

Heck of a good job Paul, yes your FEL will dig a nice trench if you stay with it.. Not as fast as a backhoe but I don't have a backhoe either:laughing:
Your overall job has that attention to detail and completeness you put into all of your work.:thumbsup:

Thanks man. Wifey wouldn't let me buy a smaller tractor to do it. :laughing:

Hey my friend. I sure got a pile of weird looks. I bet they thought I was going to use the blower to spread the topsoil :laughing:

Thanks James for your nice comments. I was going to rent a small backhoe but couldn't get one when I was ready to do it so I figured the tractor would have to do it. Had a few friends stop by and say the tractor might need therapy after seeing dirt for the first time :laughing: Hope all is well with you and yours.
