Nice neat footings jimmy.

How come you let the 120/5 go and kept the FH130? I thought you'd have done the reverse but you must have had a reason. Personally I love the /5's.

Thanks clive. The Fh130 had a bit of money spent on it last year. new chains, rollers and sprockets, So it was kept. Yip the 120-5 was a good digger clive. My brother drove it and he loved it (still does)

Thanks stui!! Yip we had ours for around 10years aswell. It went away with over 10,000 hours on it and gave us very little bother. Noticed there was no pictures of it in post above so i'l post a few up.

Jimmy, The seventh picture down is that a lake/pond you are building there. Im condidering having one dug on my land pnly about 3/4 of an acre but dont know really where to start in terms of planning. How do i know if the land will hold water? It clay soil and i dug a test pond last year and it fills up fine but dried in the summer, so how do i know if the clay is good enough.
Cheers

Martin,put some in a bucket of water and if it doesn't break up or start to disolve it should be ok.If it does you can line it (costly) or you may be able to borehole it into a well to keep it's own supply durin any dry times
