    The golf ball bit was great. I laughed at that one. I find a golf ball, at least one, on nearly every job I do. Even in the middle of nowhere. Funny how I'm in Tennessee and you're in Indiana and the same things happen on job sites. When the teeth/blade hits the ground there is no telling what's going to roll out!!!

    Cap’n, WOW!!!! You’ve uncovered a rare Golf hatchery! I’ve never seen one… although the Lord knows I’ve planted enough eggs to start an entire civilization of Golfs!
    I’ve been told there are Birdies and even an occasional Eagle there… however I’ve only caught glimpses of them from across the stretch of green.
    Cap’n, you have to promise me one thing… you will not divulge the location of this brooding plot. Because if wind of this gets out every duffer and hacker out there will descend on it… and they always bring clubs!!!
    Promise?

    Hmm, gotta think someone in the past before all thar undergrowth and small trees grew in had a private driving range set up there.
    By the way Captain I noticed a golf ball you missed as you were turning your truck around at around minute 28.
    Luckily, Dirt Perfect can't say you actually did a major boo boo to the Ho 140.
    Just an easily fixed one that includes changing one hose that was already close to needing to be changed anyways.
    Anyways, thanks for the new episode to finish off my Sunday night TH-cam channel watching.

    Hey Captain, great to see a video demonstrating the ability of this size machine for clearing brush and the blade makes it so versatile and saves time, leaves a neat finish. I wonder your thoughts please on this 14t v's a 20t machine for this type of work with the added power and digging capability of the 20t would the larger machine limit you by it's size or be better, for general farm and serious logging work. Ideally with a blade but less likely to find 20t with blade but they are out there. The blade makes leveling a work pad so simple and quick. Finding the perfect machine s/h is really the luck of the draw, I guess you have to compromise. I'm not interested in zero swing but a counter weighted machine as they are more stable, like yours is.

    Anyway at 23:48 there is a cool looking sling shot tree. Tie a bunch of tubes together, mount them to that tree, then use the excavator to stretch it out and sling rock across the creek. Find more golf balls and make a shot thrower for it.
