     @EvolLove @Gawdphather I was chatting with a neighbor yesterday, and she was saying her husband wanted to get a backhoe. She didn't know why, or what he would use it it for.

     I just said "for playing in the dirt, of course! What couldn't he use it for? It sounds great?'. Not sure if I helped him much, but I hope so.

     I really wanna try a bulldozer. When driving an excavator using the blade I think of how great a bulldozer must be for the right task.

     @EvolLove @Gawdphather my brother-in-law has one. It is a helluva lot of fun. I invented a new game: like soccer, but instead of a ball, boulders. And instead of kicking, bulldozing.

     And any trees that you don't want there? No need to worry about the stmups!

     @thoughtcriminal @Gawdphather

     I used an excavator planing to loads of 25m3 gravel. So I used the bucket to make an "entrance" to the pile of gravel and then just the tracks and blade and I drove right up on top of that pile of gravel. About 5 feet up with almost vertical edges. And it was so solid.

     How the weight of the machine compressed the gravel and the blade shaped a road in front of me as I was driving. In the end I did most of the work with the blade.

     I wanna try a bulldozer next time
