Default Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)

Is that advertised through Hobby Horizon? Looks like maybe $70 savings..

Not really Neil. I've been using a pic axe to trim a 90° cut right next to the wall as I cut each layer. This last cut is down to floor level now, so I'll be able to face the wall directly to trim it straight down.

I intend to dig the holes for the posts with the 850, make a 5" width trench for 8 feet length along the floor, as deep as the 850 can reach. I usually put the 10' length 4x4 posts 30" into the ground.. I'll have to measure what the 850 can do.

nothing wrong with those side cutters Joe . They kind of look like the modified 1's on the 30 " bckt on the 307 cat I had . No pics though . they worked real well It's hard to get a 90 * wall when your not digging parallel to the cut with the bckt .

Neil , I got 416 shanks on my 303CR I never liked those bolt ons I weld the outer 2 on a slight angle outward to help with the resistance in digging a trench .

Hey Steve, yes I bolt the teeth on, tired of breaking the "DOH-nut" pin retainer's, has been working well for me. NO MORE SMASHED FINGER'S No more wimpy teeth. Cat people can't understand why we upgrade our bucket's.

Cheer's, Neil.
