Definitely the money shot!

Of course, I am trying to figure out where you are...in snow. Not in my hood, unless your up on the backside of Caren Range, but you look to be on a plateau. Sort of reminds me of the 'coke'. I think you said VI somewhere. I haven't traveled a lot of VI, except the hwy.
Can't wait to see what you'll make next. There are an almost inexahaustable list of attachments that may come in handy. I know nothing about forestry work apart from what I read on here, but I seem to recall you build trails. If so, a grading beam the right width will get you a nice smooth finish in a third of the time it takes to grade out with a bucket (I prefer one without a roller so it doesn't get gummed up and you can pick up material with it). Also a sheeps foot compactor attachment for stabilising material you have moved. Then the fixed blade tree shears look straight forward enough for a man of your skills.
It'll be top secret until it's done... But it's forestry related.
