Did the Ridgeway in my Suzuki SJ410 shod with BFG mud terrains once in company with 2 RR I had to tow them through most of the mud.

Today I have been mostly filling potholes in the track to the house ..... these two aren't new or pretty, but I don't know what I'd do without them. About a mile of track and some wheel-swallowing holes .... endless job that would make Sisyphus wish he was back with his rock! ..... 5 ton of hardcore shifted so far and counting ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2026/03/19/20260319_142200.jpg) Doesn't help with the shoveling and wacker-plating at the other end, but at least the loading is a breeze.🙂 K

That mini digger is a thing of beauty, I’m guessing early eighties which seems like yesterday but in mini digger terms, prehistoric😃

Yep ... must be that old .... 1.5 ton Mitsubishi ... everything's a bit loose on it, but it still works 🙂 ... little 3 cylinder diesel ..... think it was made for a warmer climate, what with having that little sunshade instead of a cab to keep the hailstones off !! 🙂
Clunky, but I've lost count of the tonnage it's saved me shifting with a shovel and pickaxe ... long may it clank about at the speed of a snail!

PS ... you'll notice the de-luxe seat ... you're not proper 'country' unless one of your machines has a feed-bag seat-cover! 🙂

K, I have been filling in potholes too, More a pick, shovel and thump task as fortunately the single track road to my little hamlet is Tarmac, a few bags of Tarmac from B&Q a bit of effort and job done.....for another little while.. Sigh! My days of tons of type one JCB`s are done and dusted.... I hope. (-:
