    New Hitachi

    One of the local contractors just got a new Hitachi in yesterday. I'm not sure about those No tail swing hoes. Another outfit here bought one last year and sent it back because it was to tippy. I think they do have their place though. The last pic is just the view from work today.:thumbsup
