Congratulations on a fine new piece of equipment. Don't forget to update your profile with the new ride. Looks like you got a great first day's use out of it.

Put a Piranha Tooth Bar on it and you will love it more!

:thumbsup: The greatest tool made for a new under construction homeowner. You need a RatchetRake now which is my number three add on. I also have hook on bucket forks which I use from time to time.
Fel 1st, BH 2nd and RR 3rd. The RR will leave it smooth enough to drop grass seed and hooks on in near one minute and off in less time by yourself. I also does a great job with brush and small trees/underbrush removal/clean up and of course BH will do any digging needed. I use my BH to turn gardens on rental property since I sold my tiller.
Ky is now 18" deep after many years at 12". My brother lived in Alaska and they go several feet deep. Guess one matches the depth to where they live. A bit extra when one has the proper tool is OK.

I'm in Cambridge Ontario and they only went below the sod with the line from the tank to the house?

Good luck with the new machine. I don't know if that propane line is metallic. If it isn't, be sure to put some of that metallic tape on the top before your bury it. This way, the Check Before You Dig Guys can find it in the future with their sensor.
Thanks for all the comments!
We used yellow poly line. I buried it around 20" deep and then covered it with about 4" of soil. I then laid an insulated copper wire in the trench with it coming up at the ends for future locates. The idea on burying it slightly higher is that if you get carried away digging on top of it you will hit the "locate" wire first and realize what you're about to dig into...
One of those tooth bars is on my wish list. I should of bought one over a year ago when I started working on my new property!
My main priority now is to build a ripper tooth or a bracket to mount a boxblade ripper to the BH. I have a few big stumps to take out so I can build a metal building to store my tractor, implements, truck, and project car. That way my attached garage doesn't get too crowded!
