I was inveigled into making some landscape changes at a fellows lakeside cottage. He was advised my little B7100 was really not large enough and a backhoe would also be of help. Anyway I agreed to try.

It involved widening the boat ramp and making a level pad for a 14 x 20 foot boat house.

These picture show before and after. :D :D

Now its on to finishing the steps.:D

Eddy, there was more than one day involved. The tractor was way too small, there should of been a backhoe and removing part of the ramp side hill was at about 15/20 degrees with water running out. Wasn't fun with no power steering. About all I could handle was 4 hours till I would get tired and have to stop before Carelessness or slowed reaction set in.:D

I really tried to talk my way out of the job because my equipment was not proper but!!!!:D

Egon that looks great. Good job! Watching your projects over the years you sure get the most out of that little Kubota. How old is it and what kind of hours do you have on it now?

Great job Egon. Do you need any special permits near the water in your area? Here the rules are prohibitive.
