errrr wouldnt it be a whole lot cheaper to pay a backhoe contractor $50/hr to dig your bed? It wouldnt take more then a hour to mix up yourself a big ole mud hole :-]

Sounds like a pretty neat item. If the trail is a little too boring, you can stop and dig a new mudhole. Nothing to jump? I can take care of that. Actually, it's not such an absurd idea. There are a few places on my craggy farm that would benefit from a backhoe, but the rough terrain prevents one from getting there. Matter of fact, I know of several farms that would benefit from that. Make a little money? Hmmm...

I've actaully seen a mini-back hoe designed to mount on ATV. It was ungainingand awkward( mounts to the front of the bike and has caster wheels and out riggers to provide stability.... musta weighed at least 500lbs) > Beleive me if you cant get to a spot with a conventional backhoe theres no way you are gonna get this contraption in with an ATV.

A winnipeg guy. I live way up north of you. How is the weather, pretty crappy hey. Its nice and warm way up north here. That plane crash in winnipeg was weird. What kind of cat do you have? Do you live in winnipeg or outside in one of those small towns like warren or something like that.
