To much for the Farmall

Rollie NE PA · Apr 19, 2020

Wife wanted a old lilac bush and a maple tree stump removed from the yard, no problem. While digging around the stump with the loader I found a large rock that the roots had grown under. I called my buddy that has a backhoe with a 6 inch wide bucket which is ideal for ripping roots. The stump is out and the rock is buried in the hole. Wife is happy!

Would like to find a big rock like that on my property - using them for landscaping around house

looks great,its good to see the old red iron out working.you got to love that Pennsylvania rock dirt,it really makes you work up a sweat but like everything,it is worth it once it's done.i am in the process of digging out a bunch of dead trees in a pine tree grove with a 1966 MF backhoe.i am working with the same "soil",here in south central Pa,so I can respect that.

Looks to me like a Super Six loader on that H. Loaded many a wagon box full of ensilage out of a dirt pit after school with an M. Power steering was by armstrong in that muddy pit. Dad had an off farm job that winter. I believe I was about 14 and maybe 110 lbs.

Super Six. I like it because I can tilt the bucket to dig.

Is that a cribbing bucket on the backhoe?looks like what is on the machine I run at work to change cross ties

I believe it was used for water/electric line trench.
