Yeah, I suppose if I wanted to move the entire farm one km to the West, that would be the digger to buy

I did see a doozy of a digger down south. Parked up having done quite a bit of riverbank protection work on the Wanganui river. Spoke to the locals at the pub about it as the river had eaten into the bank its parked on, and was only one or two more floods away from joining the rest of the rocks at the bottom of the river. Its a 70 tonner, and had done in a final drive. I suspect the owner is waiting for the river to take it, then hit up his insurer.....
