Not quite the first scratch but the first one by me

Few from last week. Had Al Wallace’s excellent team in for a road closure job. Lovely bit of kit, really makes life easy. Bit of bracken control, some more trees, and tested the Blec grader box out on bracken litter which worked wonderfully. Holds about a 13t bucket full, then run it to the bund, place it where you want and compact with the wheels like your on a silage clamp. Very efficient.

Both the Kubota and the Carraro proving their worth this week, and the Multione invaluable as always.

And went to look at the jcb but you all know that already.

Not posted anything lately but been beavering away on a site for 10 new dwellings with the 8 ton kobelco. Been digging a hole for an attenuation tank. 27.5m long x 11.50m wide and around 1.2m deep. Spoil going into a 6 ton dumper and moved about 50m. Hard clay. It has taken me by surprise as to how long it has taken.
Any guesses to upset me?!
