I come from eastern Pa. and live in the township of West Rockhill. This should give some indication of my digging conditions. Granite boulders lots of um. Some areas of my property I can dig a backhoe bucket load and get 90% rock and 10% dirt. There is also an East Rockhill but we don't really get along with those folks. Their all uppity over there. Besides they don't have as many rocks as we have. The losers.
I just traded in my B20 for a B26 and it digs way better.
I had an eureka moment this weekend. Was digging out some rocks on a tractor trail in my woods and wanted to smooth the remaining dirt. Now the B26 is not a very heavy machine and does not back drag very well. But if you put a big old granite bolder in the bucket it does a fine job. I couldn't believe the improvement. I also have an 1100 foot driveway. So me and my boulder just had to go try the combination on the gravel. Worked great. So the boulder is now a tool and gets stored beside my equipment shed. I like this particular boulder because it sets up on end real easy which makes it snap to get into the bucket.
Anybody else used this method?
I wonder if I can get a patent on the idea and start selling my rocks.
