Congrats, Craig. Keep us informed as to your progress. I'm interested in how "easy" it is to operate.
A guy told me that the only way to dry muck out was to pile it up and that gravity would help force the water out of it...sounded kind of like red neck engineering. I got some to dry by mixing it with dry sandy soil once but that's not very practical either.
I'm envious...keep us posted on the track-hoe operation.
