Thanks jim-interesting video. The blocks looked like they were almost too heavy for the clam but you got it done. Nice operator work! Smooth and steady is always the best. Personally I like the drag bucket for moving dirt but I guess it depends on the application. I have watched some real clan shells working under water and they seem to do a good job. It seems like most model clamshells are too lite-weight to be efficient when digging but maybe you can work something out. Also I saw a goldfish streak thru the picture a few times. Must have been doing his morning sprints. As fast as he was going I was surprised there wasn't a roostertail coming up behind him
