Default Lifting Stuff


Is that BX22 practical to excavate rocky ground?

--Good question. Sure you can pick up boulders with the backhoe but the standard bucket is only 12" wide. As for weight I suppose a couple hundred pounds could be lifted out of a trench. By 'rocky ground' I think as long as it's not concrete you could scratch your way beneath the surface without too much trouble.
