An alternative to a new and relatively expensive tractor is a well-running antique. They''re not quite as capable or dependable as a contemporary tractor, but they''re considerably less expensive. Small, still-working antique tractors such as a late-''40s or ''50s Farmall angleheadelectricimpactwrench Cub or a low-riding, auto-style Ford 9N currently sell for about $2,500, a bit more if they''re outfitted with new rear tires or hydraulics. If at all possible, buy one with a newly rebuilt engine, an onboard hydraulic system, a rear-mount three-point hitch and one or two mechanical power takeoffs (PTOs) rather than a drawbar. Invest in a modern underframe (Woods), rotary brush hog or field mower and other post-1950s attachments. Look carefully, because museum-quality antiques from the 1930s and earlier often lack hydraulics and PTOs (Polk''s, the Antique Tractor Magazine, published by Dennis Polk Equipment of New Paris Indiana (subscriptions 219-831-3555) and Farm Collector from the folks at Odgen Publications in Topeka, KS (subscriptions 800-678-4883) are two great sources of info on older models better suited for displaying on the front yard than grinding in the cornrows). If you intend to do any really heavy work such as logging, trenching for soil-drainage pipe, digging in a septic tank or cutting a logging road through heavy woods, consider a full-size industrial tractor with a log grapple or excavating bucket on the front and a backhoe on the stem. New, they cost five or six figures. Good used ones cost about $15,000. Mohawk Lifts model TSL-7 is a 7,000 lb. capacity twin scissor lift. The TSL-7 Pad lift is available with four fully rotating swing arms, as well as a variety of rubber blocks to make contact with all vehicle lifting points. Available as a "flush mount" lift, the lift recesses into the concrete of the shop floor to maximize repair bay space. The Mohawk TSL-7 fits in the angleheadelectricimpactwrench narrowest of bays. Mohawks TSL-7 has angleheadelectricimpactwrench a low 7-3/4 in. profile, with shallow angle approach ramps which allow even the lowest riding sports cars to be raised. Equipped with a 12-position locking system on both scissoring legs, twin hydraulic cylinders and operates on 208/240 volt single or three phase power. Mohawk Lifts If you''re serious about swapping the urban angleheadelectricimpactwrench rat race for a life of frugal, back-to-the-land self-sufficiency, the right equipment will make the difference between paradise and peril. We looked back on 30 years of building, tilling, harvesting and fence stringing to come up with the following list of essential tools we wish we''d had when we first stepped off the well-paved map and went homesteading. You''ll need a properly sized, wheeled, perhaps engine-powered machine to do the heavy hauling. The capacity you''ll need and the amount you''ll pay will be determined by the size and topography of your place, the nature of the work you intend to carry out, your financial angleheadelectricimpactwrench resources, maintenance tools and skills, and available storage facilities. Ideal, albeit impractical for most of us, would be a team of horses, mules or oxen along with a hay wagon for field work, a buckboard for trips to town, and a barn and paddock. If you obtain beasts of burden, you''ll also need pasture, hay and grain to sustain them. ©2003 www.air-impact-wrench.com. All rights reserved. |
