    Good to see someone in America using a 4 in 1 bucket on a skid steer, been standard equipment on skid steers in Australia for over 40 years. You need a spreader bar for your 4 in 1 to make leveling the road quicker and easier.

      My career in software included a very big portion doing avionics for the government. Military pilots have the term "golden arm" that only the best can earn from each other. It's about flying the machine as if it were an extension of yourself. Being that kind of operator doesn't require wings, just man and machine and coordination.

    Nice job, Chris. You move more with that skid steer than most people do with full-sized dirt machines. My husband & I were out & about today and there was some street work going on as my husband & I drove past. One of the machines was a mini Yanmar that looked just like yours, Chris. I blurted out, "Oh hey, they've got a mini working." My husband asked, "What". "A mini Yanmar". He doesn't watch CZcams with me so I had to explain. He chuckled all the way to our destination.
