This is our 5 year old Bad Boy. The feline is one of our 14 that take it in turns to ride the roof rack.

Great vehicle, especially like the winch. Live on a tree farm.
We also have a converted Club Car (raised chases ); a 2011 Nissan Leaf ; number of electric farm tool, including. Great chain saw. We run all from a 7000 volt solar array.

...and I bet you were just having fun with the track hoe by using it to put the pole in. From the looks of it, I'd have thought two guys done it themselves, Iwo Jima style. Was it really that heavy?

I kinda had the same question but my solution didn't involve the excavator. Maybe you already use one but a spade shovel would make the job go a lot faster. Use it to break up the dirt in the hole and then when the hole starts to get deep use the post hole digger to pull the dirt out. Like I said, you probably already use one but just thought I'd throw it out there..

Are there really 10 poles up now? Please post more pictures for the curious!

When I woke up this morning my weather app said it was just 36 degrees close to where you are. I sure hope you get a cozy shelter soon!!

Ask me about food.

Yes I believe that it is a cougar.
 
I think I'll just lie down here for a second. And ponder this tiny ad:
