CurtisB,
That's a good sized rock in your bucket. Impressive.
Looks like you had a good time this weekend.
Please post a pic when you reinforce the bucket and add hooks, I'd like to do the same.

CurtisB -
Nice pics! Don't you just love the "diesel sippin' "? That was really one thing that surprised me last year: how little fuel I used in comparison to an old Sears / Craftsman gas-powered mower.
I try to do most of the "nasty work" - stuff that the lawn doesn't like etc. - finished @ now in the early spring. Then once summer hits - it's mostly just mowing once- twice / week. Heck one tank might last a month! And the B7610 has 24 hp vs the 12 hp of the gas engine!
Nice rock in the FEL - my bucket has a little ding (look at edge of bucket at right) - that I got while *coaxing* this rock from the ground. Rock 1 - Dan 1 (I DID get it out of the ground and moved @ 30 feet!)
I too have moved a pile of rocks - without seeing (and even then) them next to the CUT - it's hard to get a sense of scale. But more importantly - I think it's tough for non-tractor owners to appreciate how MUCH work they can do - some of the rocks simply can't be moved by hand!
I'm *stuck* between seasons - the last piles of snow are finally disappearing - but the low areas in the yard simply won't dry / firm up. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif I *barely* got my B7610 out from behind my garage....but my wife and I finished @ 90% of the yard cleanup in @ 4-5 hours this past weekend - we're still *way ahead of the project curve*! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Enjoy that 'Bota!

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Ben, that is almost like asking me if you can have my new tractor /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Going to be kinda hard to use those tools now though, especially since the tractor will be occupying the third bay of my garage where the woodwork takes place. Guess that is more motivation for me to get the additional 20x30 garage built, or should I say "workshop", oh, <font color="red"> hope there is nobody on this list from the Village of Spring Grove.

Because in yuppyville where I live you technically cannot have a workshop. Well, I have always been told to call it a second garage rather than a workshop as a workshop has bad meaning to the building and zoning guy.
If I could afford to relocate away from the city I most definitely would, but, being in computers that is really hard to do... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
