We tore down the old shop and can't burn it where it's at because of diesel tank and power lines nearby. We don't want to dig a hole and bury it right here either. So..we need to load it on the dump trailer and haul it to our dump/burn pit. Decided to build a thumb for the Deere so we could grab it in big wads and load it on trailer.

Sometimes I write love letters like this.

Dear thumb,
Thanks so much for the wonderful time you showed me last night.
And thanks for bringing your four sisters along too.
Much Love, GB

That combined with dozer, John Deere hooked to dump trailer and New holland doin the bucket work did the trick. Only took the two of us about 5hrs to get her pretty nice. The concrete box was the forge that the ranch made their horseshoes in back in the day.
