I've been thinking for awhile about building a dirt leg to elevate dirt out of my basement, trucking it out has gotten too boring. And after a long day on the farm the last thing I want to do is more physical exercise walking up/down stairs b/c I can't see where the trk goes anymore from the basement. I want to just sit & dig.
Yes the wife and I built it, nothing fancy the chain and sprockets are from a old bicycle ,the buckets are just bent tin and welded to the chain.
