Lil Foot that is awesome, such a great idea and I guess an obvious choice really (although not something I thought of). They look great and if I even get one of these things it'll be something i'll probably do. Nice work, so much better than using a bin full of concrete!

You've got me thinking re the box blade, I think i'd be able to put that to quite a lot of use (drive way and just spreading dirt generally). Probably something I could put together myself also. Bluegill - I really want to get as small a rig as possible for that exact reason, ie manoeuvrability...

Mate that's pretty much exactly what i'd like to get if it'd do what I need. I wouldn't NEED the backhoe but I think it'd have to be a hell of a lot of fun :). Looks like you've got a great set up there.
