My dear wife okayed purchase of new KX-080-5 to clean up property in NC and provide relief and recovery for the neighbors, many who lost everything after Hurricane Helene. My appreciation to 4570man for his input on excavators.
Had some pretty big land slides with largest being 1700 yards that went into the creek along driveway. Had to cut new driveway so any found rock gets used to rebuild and protect creek bank. The bucket in rock picture is a 36 inch wide.
Also included picture of typical roadway in and around Asheville, NC. There is mile after mile of road that used to be 2 lane and is now barely one lane.
