Those are some nice looking diggers. Are you planning on manufacturing them at some point or why are you field testing them?

Thanks, I might start at some point building them , but not right now.
I want to realy make sure they will hold up to various types of digging conditions.
I think I've bent or broke or found some design problem most of the diggers out there , thats why I built my own.
