Due to the rising ground I had to scoop out an undesirably large amount to allow the gate to fully open. In the long run I need to re-sculpt the trackway as at the moment it has lumps and bumps in a rather uneven fashion. I should (when the bigger digger arrives) be able to take it all down 10" and put 6" of planing back as a surface - currently the underlying clay is poking through in places :bugeye: |

Well the blade will be handy! It's an excavator. :thumbup: Does it have a smaller bucket? project: add a thumb? |
| awemawson:
Steve as supplied it has a grading bucket which I'd expect to be 4 or 5 foot wide, and an 18" digging bucket - I'll need to source a 9" bucket for land drain trenching. Lucky old Brian is going to get 6 or so buckets with the Kubota as I'd been collecting them :ddb: Sadly unlike you we have few trees on the farm, so the suggested thumb probably isn't warranted, although they are useful for picking up any long thin things I suppose. |
| vtsteam:
Ah yes, only trees here, and glacial til -- plenty of rocks to move as well. A thumb would be great here. |
