    My back hoe is 3 pt hitch type. It’ll scoop the #### outta soup. But piled dirt and harder it’s more aggravation than it’s worth. Let me also say that I’m no operator of any sort.

    With that old 50% DuPont Ditching; in the nice wooden, case with mitered joints. Would like to have one of the cases, EMPTY THO...
    Hard to make it go straight down the ditch line, less you might use one of these heavy things they skid down in the trench to keep landslides from killing the hands.... Fun to misjudge the fuse burn rate and begin to wonder if you pulled it out of the det while pushing it down the hole.
    Then exactly when you are sure you messed up and start to walk back toward it.. Ka ..BL.. AM .. and dirt clods hit you...
