    That four in one bucket really does a great job striping sod. Even that little strip by the road was neatly clean off.
    No rocks was found on this job.👍🤣

    Just want to say I appreciate the editing and trimming work done on the video today. I appreciate that it would have been a 2 hour long video if you hadnt edited it. It's good when you show the highlights of each stage, maybe the start, a bit in the middle, then the end, since it shows us enough to get the idea, and the start/finish progress of that stage, without being needlessly inflated in time.
    So yeah, thanks for that, it's really appreciated.

      Yeah but some of us like over inflated needlessly loooong videos, just the sound of track pads slapping the ground is so soothing and the engines roar, but to hear the dulcet tones of this mans voice will calm the most rattled nerves.
      Do what you have to do to your videos I'll keep watching and listening, a great big hug.

Traded away some other equipment I had and now own a Takeuchi TL12R2 High Flow and a TB260 both with cabs. Just weekend work for myself and a few others for now but I'm having fun.
