I have a few cool tools, definitely not ALL the cool tools. There's plenty of others I would love to own. I definitely have a equipment problem or addiction might be a better word ; ) but as long as the son and I are having a good time and spending more time together money well spent. Super stoked to run some dirt thru it.

One of these geo-paleo picks could be a useful addition to your tool inventory to loosen dirt for the whippet. https://www.amazon.com/Estwing-Geo-...826204&sr=8-1&keywords=estwing+geo+paleo+pick. I forgot mine the other day and just using my shovel to carve down the sides and bottom of the hole "plumb tuckered me out". I still managed to dig and run over 50 gallons of relative hardpan feed (est. by measuring hole with shovel handle and calculating volume).

Have fun with your son and heavy pans.

PS The whippet will keep the both of you busy.

PPS Ya got to take it out of the box before you can use it.:laughing7:
