Back in my PCA days, I had a customer who had low fields with a couple of ditches. About the worst looking backhoe I had ever seen was sitting spradle-legged, with the hoe flat on the ground, near one ditch. I laughed and commented, "looks like that's where the ole gal gave up the ghost." He said, "Yeah, its been in that spot for 15 years. Except for a few nights each summer, when the moon is full, it comes to life, and we do a little ditchin'." He had tried to do it the "right" way, but quickly found out that it was virtually impossible to get permits. He keeps the grass mowed along the ditch, so there isn't any tall grass to have tracks in it; also, doesn't make the work obvious, and backhoes the dirt directly into a dumptruck, so its not laying on the ground. Does it in late summer, when the ditch is dry, so doesn't have to deal with mud. He's on great terms with the neighbors, and nobody ever seems to hear a thing. When the night's work is done, he puts the machine back in exactly the same position. Its been working for him for many years.
