Default After 1 month with my Ace 250

Here's what I've found so far with my Ace 250. I have had it for 1 month.

I would like to thank everyone here for all of the nice Newbie welcomes. You guys seem like a great group and all of the information here has been very helpful. I'm having a blast with my Ace but due to the weather I haven't been able to get out this past week. I already broke the handle off of my new digger. Can anyone recomend a good one ?

Thank You

That what its all about Capt. You are off to a Great start. It only gets better. My opinion for a Digger would be Alabamaslim. He makes it Himself and don't look like You will ever have to replace it. I've bought so many Diggers over the years, and most just won't stand up to the abuse we put them through. Also He is One of our sponsers, check him out

Very nice haul! For a quick and affordable digging tool - Lowe's has an "Ames" digger for around 10-12 bucks. I have one in my arsenal and it works well. I ALSO just received the tool that Charlie "Alabamaslim" sent me - you might want to check his site (he's a TQ sponsor).
