Alright these first set of pics are from a property that we spent over a year on, we ended up doing way more than just excavating, lots of planting actually over half a million dollars worth of plants went into this 3 acre property it was insane. We also overlooked allot of the hard landscaping that happened on the property like the sport court, putting green, pond,driveway and all the paths.

when we started excavating for the sport court we found a very soft spot dug it out and found an old well that was back filled with....well garbage mostly bottles, after we installed a liner in the well so we could drain the water the liner filled up in about an hour we tried to talk the home owners into using this water for irrigation but they didn't want the hassle.

Lol, gotta love working in slop. Friend of mine was building a ice road into his fire wood tract and broke through and sank his skidder, till the tire had only two inches sticking out. My fiancee and I went to Vancouver for my first time this past fall next time I go west I'm going right to Vancouver Island. It was quite the thing to see whole pears growing in somebody's front yard and palm trees in downtown Vancouver and still be in Canada. lol

The KX121 is a great machine, traded a KX91 in for it, the 91 was having issues but so far no issues with the 121 and the KX080 is a really nice machine have only had it for a couple months so cant really tell ya how great it is but if its anything like all the other Kubota products I'm sure it will turn out to be an excellent machine!
