Since our nightly visitor didn't want to do it, I had to clear the driveway myself. Put the grading bucket on and practiced a bit in the yard. Not great, but works better than the dozer blade using arm swings, but not really the right tool.

Great for pushing those snow mountains further out though, as they're getting too high to throw over with the shovel.

Cleared the bulk with the machine, taking shoveling breaks to warm up.

We can leave by car again if we want to.

Cut off from the barn in the meadow with the old firewood though. The path is just over the hill and the snow drift is too deep for the tractor trailer. Almost got it stuck there and turning was a struggle.

No big deal, the new firewood is ready with a bit of cubby drying.

Mini excavator in black and yellow in a snowy driveway with track marks in the snow. The area with the excavator is roughly cleared and snow is piling up high on the side. Due to some ancient crusade, a yellow cross is standing around in front of some trees.

Lots of very heavy snow arrived. Got some help pushing it.

Snow pushed up into a big pile in front of a house.A yellow and black mini-excavator with googly eyes is pushing a large wall of snow ahead of its small dozer blade. The curvature of the blade is causing the sticky snow to roll up firmly and topple over forwards.

Grmpf, not the best day. Excavator was in the way of something else, so I drove it out, decided to do some quick jobs to charge the battery up and then parked it outside the barn. Upon turning the key again, nothing at all, not even the solenoid clicking.

Keyswitch ok, battery ok, so I had to trace wires (no diagram, although it's not complicated) until finding the culprit: A failed crimp on a ring terminal where the instrument wiring connects to the starter/battery plus.

Easy fix, put everything back together, two hours down the drain. 😮‍💨

Some work near the front gate. Managed to extract those concrete beams without harming the junipers.

Now to haul them away. Only the smallest one could go on the hand cart.

Having learnt my lesson, I sifted through the soil below anything I remove and was not disappointed. Several bricks, rocks, plastic scraps, two glass perfume bottles and of course a bunch of steel (harrow tines).

Let's see if I can get the rosehip out of there alive and relocate it, too.

Part of a farm. Three juniper bushes are surrounded by disturbed soil, several long concrete pylons in front of them. An excavator arm and bucket rest on the left. Behind it, a hand cart with a short concrete beam loaded onto it. Behind some sheds and a barn.

Pee bush root removal.

A real struggle, dug a meter down and it still wouldn't budge. Had to leap into the hole and start chopping roots with an axe and dirt underneath with a pickaxe. Then tear around with the bucket until it finally moved.

I expected to find a pot of gold buried under there, but no luck.

Filled back in and thrown some grass seed on, not that it's needed, but we had some laying around. Will throw some grass mulch on top soon.

A small yellow 1 ton excavator is hovering its bucket on top of a cluster of stumps. Soil has been dug away around the trunk. A pile of the bush branches is behind.The root cluster, now fully dug out but still not budging. The hole is much bigger, about 1 m deep with soil piled all around.The bush is now hovering in the air, grabbed triumphantly in the excavators bucket. There's a small pile of chopped or broken off roots on the left. The excavator is keeping a googly eye on the trunk.Garden scene from yesterday, but instead of the bush trunk cluster there is now a big pile of muddy dirt with excavator tracks from compacting it down. The trunk is laying on the left, a pile of sticks saved from the branches is left of a bench, more roots and branches on the right. An empty storks nest stands behind.

Stump removal time.

The thorny fucker roots came out fast, although it's easy to miss a few, maybe I should've just dug out the whole plants instead.

The old apple trunk had big roots and I had to dig deep and then tear them up with the teeth, but it came out eventually.

Filling back in and flattening took some time, too.

A nest of upside down roots is next to the bucket and the ground is torn up at a shallow level in the area.The same mini excavator is victoriously lifting a big apple stump out of the ground. A googly eye is attached to the excavator arm, looking down at the stump. Behind a surprisingly large hole is dug and a big mound of fresh earth piled up that needs filling back in.

When you're sweaty and tired from potato digging by hand and you've got the excavator out anyways...

It worked, of course, but I'd need an assistant to pick up the potatoes. Hopping on and off all the time is very inefficient.

Also easy to miss a few when you have such a big shovel of dirt.

Much less sweaty though 🤔

Went south to retrieve wife and buy excavator.

Wife is dubiously inspecting the new living room arrangement, excavator should get delivered tomorrow.

The B&S Petrol engine would've been a six month wait, so I grudgingly went with the KOOP 1 cylinder air-cooled diesel, a copy of a Yanmar design. It's got a year warranty in case it goes wrong (they tend to go wrong early on or not at all from my research).

Bonus: Wide and trenching buckets included!
