It's refreshing to hear that China, of all places, is not on board with the "you will own nothing and be happy" concept, and is still outright selling equipment rather than leasing it, as I hear John Deer has gone to. I don't know about you, but if I plunk down hard-earned cash for a thing, I don't intend to ever give it back when the "lease" is up - if I buy it, it's mine, so that rules out any new John Deer equipment.
This new toy looks as if it might be helpful here in smoothing out the rain-guttered ruts in my driveway, but I don't know if 8" of ground clearance would be enough in this case - the ruts run transverse to the road in two places in a sharp curve getting up to the house. Maybe if one started at the county road and rebuilt the entire driveway on the way up to smooth and level the surface...
But for now, all I got to work with is a flat-nosed Mark I man-powered shovel. Not even gonna try to tackle it before the rainy season is over - any earlier would be a waste of time.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
