I was welding pipe in a pond bank for an old man who had been in the business of excavating for many years. He could move the most dirt in the least amount of time without hurting his machine, He had about three old Allis Chalmers.

This kid would drop the blade over the top and drag down pulling some of the dirt from the top instead of leaving a sharp edge.
