The one thing that you wonder why you didn't buy sooner?

That's amazing. Cheaper than a second-hand 3-point backhoe!

Exactly!! And its rather enjoyable to make improvements on a NEW piece of equipment, not the old, dirty, rusty, greasy, wore-out, stuff I usually work on.

Well, for me it's definitely a cheap Chinese Baby Digger. Never Ever would I have expected to find a tool so handy. Sad that I waited till I became an old man before I bought one. View attachment 854585View attachment 854587

Yes, details please if you don't mind. Brand, where purchased, cost. Any issues. I think they have B&S 13.5hp motor?

I have a thread that covers most, if not all of your questions, " What did you do with your Chinese Baby Digger today."

I know this isn’t tractor related but I know a lot of guys here like to cook so I thought I’d share something I wish I had years ago! I finally bit the bullet for a quality knife sharpener. This thing is legit and creates a beautiful edge on my knives. Highly recommend! Tormek T1.

Diamond on the right and polishing wheel on the left. Only extra step I did was a few passes on a leather strop. Super quick and the polishing wheel is great for in between sharpening to get the edge back quick.

A few days ago I wrote a post in another thread, that is also responsive to this thread. In summary I got the tractor to replace the tedious hand labor that was done in this orchard prior.

VW To Resurrect the IH Scout as an Electric Vehicle.

95% of people who buy the scout will never off road with it. Just a status vehicle. 95% of those who buy any 4WD vehicle probably never off road with it. Agree though that, like the tesla "truck" it'll be more for show than work.

a metal trash picker. Saves me so much bending and twisting picking up small branches.

And: when you want to retrieve a cardboard box or something from the bottom of the 95 gallon recycle bin.

Or - retrieving a kid's toy from under low furniture.
