Very good. Would be good to know more on how it was made, sometime if possible.
Only a one job tractor. Lot of work in making it, compared to buying a post driver to fit your everyday tractor.

It was a warzone over here, some parts of the wall or my house had granate parts in it and after the war there was no roof on it any more (was told me)
