Summer first digging job with My backhoe

[Metsaman]

Today I start this digging season to flood some stones that always make troubles summer times when I drive lawnmower... but no more...

I want one of those... the machine by the way, not the rocks. Got plenty of them already.
By the way, they'll probably pop up again on the surface one day. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granular_convection

Don't waste your time, just rent a real backhoe or hire it done.

Granular convection, that explains it! Some well-meaning guest left a twelve-pack of Coors Light some years ago and ever since whenever we entertain I've been filling the cooler with beer and ice and arranging the silver bullets on top. But they always sink to the bottom in the end. Never could understand it, it's light beer after all, but now I understand why the skinny cans tend to settle under the wider cans.

I get your point but that would cost too much. Can't really tread lightly in a backhoe either. I like how you can reposition this thing quickly.
Actually, I've spent a fair amount of time in heavy equipment including backhoes. With our rocky 5 acres and lots of projects it seems I have another digging task of some sort a couple of times a month. At $300 per backhoe rental it wouldn't take long to pay for one of these.

I just posted a photo of our overgrown apple tree here:

This area, including the boulder compass bonfire area, was done with a backhoe. I can't imagine using one in the area now though for fear of the damage it would do.
