    Yummin' Yimminy, Chris's other antique excavation equipment is going to be jealous when that monsterous beast shows up looking so hot to trot 😅
    The C & C crew definitely went way over above and beyond the normal expectations of duty on this restoration.
    I've no doubt that Chris is going to put it to work right away on the pond build he's currently starting to clear and then dig and shape.
