GARDEN WAY CARTS: And finally, if a powered hauler is more black&decker3 than you can justify, get yourself a shiny, metal frame and brown stained, plywood box-bodied Garden Way-style garden cart like you see in many rural and sub-urban gardens. These carts were designed by Garden Way founders Eddie Robinson and Lyman Wood back in the 1940s; they took their inspiration from the amazingly well-balanced, high-wheeled railway station baggage cans of the day. You may remember Garden Way carts from the magazine ads that compared their lightweight and easy-dumping gardening convenience with a tippy, back-straining wheelbarrow. Perfectly balanced on easy-turning, rustproof, chrome-plated spoked wheels, a box cart 4electricimpactwrench will let you haul bulky or heavy loads of all kinds over an acre or so of flatland. A word of caution: Don''t overload them. I once boldly filled a small model #16 (so-named for its 16-inch wheels) with 200 pounds of flatrock and pulled it down a foot-high patio ledge. The load (twice the cart''s rated capacity), collapsed the spokes in both wheels. Features a 360[degrees] swivel inlet to eliminate twisted hoses. Its 1/4 inch air inlet features a pressure feed lubrication system. The wrench also features an ergonomic handle, variable-speed trigger and push-button forward/reverse control.

Thinking of buying a new aligner? A lift? A diagnostic unit? After you''ve spent a lot of time talking with equipment reps, looking over colorful product brochures and checking with your accountant, there''s another important question to answer before whipping out that checkbook: 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 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. ©2003 www.air-impact-wrench.com. All rights reserved. |
