I don't understand you had two hoes slide down the embankment and landed on some railroad iron that was buried? Do you have any pics of the where the hoes are? Did the bank give away with operators in them? Sorry I just didn't follow what happened.

When are we going to see pictures of these bent doors?????

That is the sweetest ditch i've ever seen.

You should see my hatchet jobs. You could do a better job with dynamite :)

Everytime I see these perfect ditches I get intimidated. It just takes practise I suppose.

Nice cake. I sent the picture to my wife to put in my birthcake order for December.

Thanks for the pictures.

Ok,ok let me let the cat out the bag,that ditch was dug with a trap bucket,it only took one pass with the 325,although it was two miles long,it took longer to clear the right of way...
