I have been working on these machines for over thirty years, one would think he knew the ins and outs of use when he goes to own one but none the less admittedly I don't.
I have a old farm, lots of older trees, not good trees but Honey Locust and sycamore, my old and tired loader is a Allis 7G, weighs in at 23,000 and digs well but there is where my dilemma starts. I don't want to dig a crater the size of a Olympic pool to roll the root ball of a locust, many times I don't have the room or terrain to so any thoughts of experience? I am aware experience in the seat is probably my only good instructor but I ask of the more experienced here what they do as to techniques.
