Split dump trucks

I had a rethink of the layout of the house front makeover after getting the old tarmac drive lifted and wider block paved- and decided full width would be better. I'd had a fair old job getting a tree out of the kerb boundary and the roots that were left in made hand digging almost impossible. I'd never have managed it so combined a tiny bit of bloke play which managed to raise an eyebrow from her indoors.

Check out the size of some of the roots near the 'dump trucks' that were for shifting some top soil into the future back garden landscaping project.

If you're still doing it mate try turning the tracks around and lowering the blade onto the road. Should be a bit less rock and roller :D
It'll make the most of the little diggers power too

I'v used the blades on diggers more for stability and crossing ditches and stuff way more than for grading stuff, bloody handy implement
