11 Jan 2009This cute little bucket and dirt pusher was the only piece of equipment that was available to fill the footing holes. This photo happens to be at the end of the day after all holes are filled and the builder used it to dig the septic tank hole. Saves the need to get a JCB in later. The rate for this little guy was 400 BT/hr. pklongballJan 12, 2009
