I bit the bullet and bought a land level. Fixing to try it out. My wife is going to be beyond irate. Furious and rabid is a under statement. Oh well......

    Any expense that relates to an egg is completely understandable. Well, that's what I wish my SWMBO would say anyways! I mean if you're going to build something might as well do it right. I can't wait to see pics of your egg's new home!

    Yes, yes - that will make her feel much better. Tell us @SGH, where do you sleep during these deals, on the couch, out in the shop, or under the stars?

    I have a neighbor who has 20 acres of woods and pasture for his horse. He uses one of those to level his land with all the horse crap and honest his acreage is quite beautiful in its natural way, but it wasnt until he got that leveler. The trees there are huge and old and some day he will sell that land for a bundle!

    I'm really trying brother. My old body just won't hold up like it use to. I find myself resting more than I do working.

    @yellowdogbbq‌
    Agreed sir. If you buy their heavy duty models it's excellent equipment. Woods is another really good one. Brown, Landpride and Woods are the Big 3 of aftermarket equipment manufactures. Can't go wrong with any of them.
