Thanks TJ, A OK so far, some high win and light rain right now, I have been in the Berkeley Springs W Va. mountains since 6 29 helping my Son put up a Pole Barn and just got home today, figured I better get home and Batten down the hatches! My son is getting as bad as you about finding strange things! :)

Dan has to stop trying to keep up with his son on the drinking! That corn liquor will get you every time. :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yea, In used to laugh at those little hoppers when I was operating much bigger equipment but compared to the shovel I operate now I would be more than happy to have on of those. I would definitely find some way to put retractable wheels on it with power to them though. You got hydraulics after all, hydraulic motors off of an old zero turn mower on those wheels on the other end and a couple or even one pivoting wheel that you can retract at the bucket end and you are good to go.
