Topband: tool for install radials

[Larry]

That worked.

Looks similar to a subsoiler I have which leaves a trace about 3 inches 
wide. I never found a blade that "thin" before.

Boy, talk about computer malpractice! My first error was in not turning on
file-sharing permissions properly in Google Drive. Apparently, after I
fixed that, I was sending out a bogus link to the shared folder. THIS ONE
SHOULD WORK... please?

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3V9JKlc_l_ZMWlOZFJWUXp2VDg&usp=sharing

See, it even has the word *sharing* in it... ;-)
