The hoe has a 9'9" reach. The problem lies in the weight of the tractor, at only 6500 lbs it gets moved around easily when digging. When the digging gets heavy I usually fill the loader with stone for ballast.
Here is a pic of me with some of the stone that came from this hole. I spread it out in the field to get cleaned this winter and make it easier to find the pieces I want. There are still 3 more large flat pieces about 3 foot around that I have in another spot. :biggrin:
I started adding the clay today and roughing in the edges. In the back left side of this photo I will be digging out another 6 or 7 feet back. I just didnt want to work myself out of the right side with the machine.
