We had to put a horse down (don't ask). Pets we bury on the farm and so with 40' of pottery clay we needed to get a little power going. That stuff is incredibly heavy. Meet Scoop (a 50 year old JSW 50 (try to find another one) and the Cat (955H). Even they struggled. I just thought bored coal burners would like the pics.

Tough day, but at least you are still on the green side of the grass and have the equipment to handle this type of thing.
