i like the idea of getting a standard BM for using....but i have a gut feeling that i might need to look for a used one...that will take the guess work out of it for me.i will let u Dogs know. for now it is being admired (gently). but i did take my fustrations out on my YardHook last night and it chopped and performed flawlessly. it was snowing to hard to take any pics....but i will see what i can come up with today.
thanks for the great replies on the D-Guard
