Looks like the trimmer will be getting some use. ;)

Still looks dry enough...I mean, I can still see the seat on the tractor so you didn't bury it THAT bad.... :laughing:

Smart, though, to use the smaller machine first so that you have the larger one to get the smaller one unstuck!:thumbsup:

I just made my pond larger using an excavator. I did the finish work with my larger tractor (bucket and boxblade), but before the excavator was picked up!

Pond is storm water runoff so not very deep. Water table pretty high. I have permits to dig out to 16 feet deep

My water table can be less than a foot in the winter! Equipment never ventures off established surfaces during these times of the year: got my NX stuck just trying to fork a cage of firewood off the edge of my driveway (didn't have ballast on the rear:eek:): currently establishing an appropriate staging area for the current season's firewood.

Pond: 1 Mower: 0 It's strange how ponds and mowers just don't get along ... been there done that, needed a wrecker to pull my JD4300 out! :duh:

Those X7** tractors don't have much ground clearance with the deck on. The deck doesn't raise near as much as my CC982.

It looks like the power washer will get some use!
