Tomorrow is the first business day after the 4th. I bet I'll get called back.
I don't know about welding, myself, but was told that it was likely from the welder being back a bit too far, and the shielding gas not being fully effective, and having oxygen at the weld, or something like that. The was a lot with no penetration that broke off cleanly, and some raised ridges around it, where there was some penetration (of something of that nature). All the rest of the welds look solid. Everybody has a bad bit of work now and again.
All I can say is, BUY A LOADER!
It is sorta like riding a horse, its not a Cadillac Limo, riding around making cocktails. When hanging out the back for counterweight, you're hanging as much as standing, so its still physical, but nothing compared to dragging brush and logs. Stupid easy.
I was carrying brush down a 25-30 degree slope, I think. Also, pushing brush down the hill with the bucket. I don't think I could have made it back up with a load. Just getting rid of old logs and dirty brush and such. I used a log as a push stick to really get stuff down the hill more, without risking going down, too far, as I was getting onto less undisturbed ground as I went more down the hill.
