I have this desire to build rock walls. No, an obsession. In the spring time after my husband has plowed the field their is often a number of rocks that have to be removed. And guess who gets that job. Being that I don't like to see things go to waste...I build walls. And I can not do that without a dear friend...my skidsteer, Rosey. You see Rosey and I understand each other. We both understand we have a job to do. Hers is to have the power to lift heavy objects and move them ever so gentle in place. With me giving her direction.
Oh, I have to admit I was at first intimidated by her. You see she holds the power, but I own the joystick. If you have never driven a skidsteer you don't know what your missing. Their is something about operating heavy machinery that empowers you. I have yet to find anything I can't move. One thing you learn right away is that a skidsteer does not have brakes. And with the right moves you can turn on a dime. It's like a computer game only with pedals.
It's great for hauling and helping plant lavender.
It takes a little skill, but you learn to move big boulders just where you want them.
