...to straighten a creek? I've got a creek that needs to be straightened. Long story short: 2 major areas I want cut straight, 8' banks, yada, yada, yada. Just to do half was gonna cost what I considered to be quite a bit. Hmmm, maybe I can get a piece of equipment that will allow me to do it for what I'm getting quoted. It may take a while but in the end I'll have what I wanted done and either have an extra piece of equipment or I can sell said equipment and have my creek straightened for "free". The search was on. Months went by. Did I find something that would cost me somewhere between the quotes? I mean, I'm gonna spend the money one way or another. Look at the new toy that arrived Sat. afternoon. I think I can do some damage.
 
I'd say you are damning the creek and by next year, we can go boating......nice.
 
That looks like one fun toy. At least it doesn't have PT on the side!!! :lol

Hopefully, the department of fish and game where you are better than here in the People's Republik of Kalifornia. If someone here tried to dig in a creek, they'd have a nasty encounter with an armed warden...

I'll be hidden. I've thought about that though and consulted with some "pros". I'll get some pics of the creek Rick. It's gonna be a job. The best piece of equipment would be an excavator but that ain't gonna happen. Yeah Mark, I've gotten a head shake or two. I went out last night and pulled up a couple stumps for the heck of it and had to contain myself.
 
You are having to much fun.....it will never be sold after you move the creek.... :lol
 
Did yourself a pond so you can water ski in your backyard!

The sad thing is I've had it for a day and a half and have already driven it more than you've driven your car.

Not likely. I'd venture to say my coupe gets used more than yours. :nk
