Bullying desguised (badly) as precaution

A bobcat? Man, you are a real glutton for punishment.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

A friend rented a walk-behind bobcat type machine for knocking down a berm
in his yard. It operated it like a big bad-a** snowblower ...only with
treads, a bucket and some 'hoist' levers that were counterintuitive for me,
because they were opposite from the machines in my old forklift days.

Yup, that was different - I kept dumping my load when I wanted the bucket to
tilt up. I got it pretty well figured out by the time the berm was
completely knocked down and spread around :-)

At one time, the local equipment rental place had a Bobcat, and a New
Holland brand skid steer. They were both about the same size, but one hat
the controls for the bucket on the feet, wheels with the hands. The other
machine was completely opposite. Wanna' talk confused, when going from one
to the other? g

HEE HEE,
Yep they are small, but they are a hoot to play around on. Not to mention
on my budget I could rent one! If I can find someplace decent I won't
worry to much , can borrow a Ford tractor and scraper blade. We have an acre
and half(? guesstimation?) here, but it goes up to the top of the ridge at
the TN/VA line.
