Thanks! I think I might have messed up tho! I let my wife dig a hole with it and she refers to it as hers now lol! She done a really good job with it also!

I really put it to use today! I dug up a few trees and gosh for no bigger than the trees are they sure have a very large root system! Now I need to convince my wife into a grapple! I made a mess but it sure was FUN!

Congratulations! They are great fun until they start blowing hoses and you have to work in tight places with big wrenches and route hoses through the boom swing pivot.

What size bucket do you have?
