Dude, you've tried using a scoop, huh? That's so cool, even if it's a small one, it sure makes things a lot easier. 1500 dollars for 1 week seems ideal considering the work you'll be doing. Normally I would say it's too expensive, but if it makes everything so much easier, it's worth it.
Yeah the scoop was quite impressive, it could knock over stumps and lift up lots of dirt.
Indeed its expensive but saves lots of time, so it all works out.
