    Cargo net, material handling?

    Thanks for the replies guys. The reason I like the cargo net/tarp idea is the other uses I will have for it. Disadvantages are that it has to be placed on the ground to load/unload the bags of quickcrete. The homemade platform advantages are that I can raise it to the height of the pile of...

    Cargo net, material handling?

    Yea, I kind of thought about just making a deck and using chain to go to the pole but I thought that if I found a net of some sort I could use it for clean up around the yard. One advantage of your idea is I could have it in a day and wouldn't cost but a couple of bucks worth of chain. I could...

    Cargo net, material handling?

    I am trying to move 80lb bags of quickcrete from the trailer to the work site. I am thinking of a cargo net or tarp with straps that I can attach to my boom pole. I'm fine with only moving 3 or 4 bags at a time. Any ideas, can't seem to find anything at TS, HarborF or NT. Thanks Al

    Knowing when to stop

    Mail Box Destruction

    SHVL73 Not sure I agree with the way you assess risk. Just because there are many risks in your riding area doesn't mean that those risks that can be elliminated shouldn't be. Kind of like blowing through a stop sign because there is a risk that someone behind you will not stop and run you...

    As a motorcycle rider please remember that it's not just automobiles that hit mailboxes. Trees, etc are supposed to be cut back from the shoulder of the road. Mailboxes must be accessed by the mail carrier so need to be within a foot or two of either the shoulder or body of the road. I have...

    All the more reason to stay on my diet

    Hi Brandi, I have the 4025. I can stand up while cutting grass but the one thing I do not want to do is fall off that tractor and under the bush hog. I have been known to stand and stretch for a minute but the wheel is a bit too low for me when I do. I'll have to check this weekend to see...

    All the more reason to stay on my diet

    As many of the contributors to this forum appear to be, I am a big guy. Won't bother saying how much I weigh but I will say that with the Mahindra seat cranked all the way up I still bottom that sucker out. Makes for a sore back after 8 hrs of mowing grass. I started a diet a couple of weeks...
