Tractor backhoe - homemade

Thanks. It works as expected. There is always some space for minor improvements, but I'm satisfied with it as it is.

And finally the last one, probably the biggest...took me half hour and another 15 min to dig a hole big enough to bury it at reasonable depth. The machine passed stress test, if this job didn't break it, nothing will. So now we have some 120 m2 of new clean land.

It looks like nice soil. Will you plant something?

It's my brothers land, he plans to grow potatoes here because they like this kind of soil

I love potatoes! Prepared just about any way. 120 sq meters can grow a lot.

0.03 acres, it would be a big garden patch.

Have to to laugh at 0.03-acres being a big garden patch. Grew up on a self sufficient farm outside of Boise. Dad used his GI Bill farm purchase to buy an orchard outside Boise, then built a new farm house, and after the five year limit, subdivided it and paid off the loans. We had a full acre of garden to fill two chest freezers. Every fall, mom would blanch and freeze enough vegetables to fill one freezer, the other one held the meat from a grass fed steer, and a couple of deer.

The grandparents had about an acre and a half in garden. Their ranch was off grid, and grandma, canned every day for a month every fall.

looks like that much more than what they had
1 meter wide x 394 feet long. That would grow a lot of potatoes for a privateer.

This is not a garden, it's a farm land of 3 acres all together but this last purchased part had some trees and bush on its edge so we just cleared it because there is no point of keeping it.
