Do I need a Sherman Power digger?

gears · Dec 3, 2014

ok, I've got a line on an NAA with a Sherman hoe on it, no 3 point or accompanying hydraulics other than the Sherman PTO driven pump. Do I need this?

How much digging/drainage work will this help me with (got 2 acres that get a little swampy, got a little bog/pond on it I've been working on deepening with a slipscoop and box scraper for the past 2 yrs when it dries enough over Summer with my 9N.

Do I need this, would it be an improvement over digging with an N or should I focus on one of the other many restoration projects stacked up in the barn?

Opinions experiences?

Thanks

Personally i cant wait till i can afford one. I got 30 undrained acres that desperately need tile. I know when i can afford it one will pay for itself with me.When you got small acreages then every square foot counts more. I need a pond myself for drainage and irrigation and raising fish. I wouldnt hesitate to get one and fix it up if you can afford it.While i saw them with about 3 tractors build a pond with a 8n and a drag scoop,(3pt) I imagine it would take a lot of time and gas by yourself.I know for me the shallow water level would mean water would be seeping in and make it too wet to finish getting it deep enough to be usable .
