the reasons for picking this were that it was very light and mobile.......great for small foodplots and for doin backyards.....i tried it out these past two days and it has worked great the only put down is that if ur running it rooty and grassy areas that the tine will get full and you have to take the tine off and then clean them and put them back on which is about a 1-2 min process.......i cant wait to use it at the ranch this summer..and fall it will be great to get and put those little secret foodplots by my stand...
