Great picture. Are you using the extension under the loader bucket as a shovel to dig ? What was the other machine that was a bright green attachment in another picture ? Thanks. Tom

Yep I dig my holes to plant trees. I don't know what happened with the second picture to allow you to see the whole album but the green tool is a hoss seed planter. I just adapted it from a push planter to a pull behind the little cub tractor.
Now that is not cheating. I am just lazy Very Happy
