Thanks for the advice on prices guys, I'm well chuffed now. Thought it was going to be way more expensive, actually about the same price as buying a pick-axe, spade and a pair of low cut jeans.

Plus I get to scare the neighbors and track mud up and down the road

I know you were only joking about that last bit but, seriously, don't! Its an offence under the Road Traffic Act to deposit mud on the highway. Quite a huge fine too, or so I'm led to believe. If I were you then I'd stick with terrorising the neighbours from the safety of your garden After all, an earthmoving machine with a relatively inexperienced operator is quite a scary thing to behold!!!

Oh really? I need to point that out to a couple farmers in my area - nothing like coming across freshly deposited red soil in the middle of the road at night in the ****ing rain

unfortunately it is illegal unless.... your a farmer travelling between his fields (within a certain distance). Builders in manchester have left a street completely covered in clay recently, i locked the front just slowling to a stop

You've got to be realistic about it too, fields are full of mud, and there tends not to be a handy car wash at the gates
