<font color="blue"> With the backhoe practice I got from the last ditch I'm getting better at it and considerably faster. </font>
I thought the first ditch looked pretty good. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Heck, you'll be moved in before you know it! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I'm impressed!
</font><font color="blue" class="small">( What a spread! I like it. )</font>
Thanks,
I have 15 acres here, approximately 6 acres I finish mow and 9 acres of field I brush mow.
My DK 35 is my do all machine. It mows my field, tills my garden, cleared and tilled a rough field into a nice yard, builds and maintains my driveway, digs my ditchs, and is my primary lawn mower /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Great machine, I love it !!

I had my first minor issue with my backhoe ( Rhino 85), the bolts loosened up where the backhoe bolts to the subframe ( and I had them tight as I could tighten them with a 3' cheater pipe).
I will tighten them tomorrow to get me through my utility line digging over the next couple days, but I'm not fighting with them again.
Soon as I can get to my welder, I'm welding the subframe to the backhoe.

Utility line digging is done /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Electric was 545' pole to transformer pad.
83' transformer pad to house
Water was 880'
Total 1508 Feet.
Now that was a lot of digging /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
The Dk 35 and Rhino backhoe worked and performed perfect.
I still need to till and clean up a bit, but the digging is done and the water line and electric conduit is in !!
Now I can work on driveway constuction.

You're really making great progress. Yes, that was a LOT of digging. I'm working on another huge pine tree stump and I think I'd rather dig a trench! John
