DR POWERWAGON: Next size down in size and capacity are the DR Powerwagons--a unique line of powered garden carts made by Country Home Products, Meigs Road, P.O. Box 25, Vergennes, VT 05491; (800 711-7276. All sizes are tank-tough and capable of hauling 800 pounds of bricks, firewood, garden compost or rocks. They are maneuvered by hand with stout handles and castoring wheels at the back, thus avoiding the steering mechanism that would boost their cost. GARDEN WAY CARTS: And finally, if a powered hauler is more 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 jetairimpactwrench 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 jetairimpactwrench easy-turning, rustproof, chrome-plated spoked wheels, a box cart will let you haul bulky or heavy loads of all kinds over an acre or so of flatland. a word jetairimpactwrench 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.

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 jetairimpactwrench 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.

unless you have substantially deep pockets, avoid any well-used but un-rebuilt machine that rides on articulated tracks. its track link pins are sure to be worn through and destined to break at the most inopportune times.deere''s gator: for moderately heavy hauling chores that do not demand a bull-dozer or a two-ton hydraulically equipped tractor, see your local yellow pages to locate a franchised john deere servicing dealer for a two- or four-wheel drive gator. sized like a cut-down jeep and powered and equipped for homestead-scale chores, it seats the driver and one or two passengers comfortably up front, but rides on farm tractor-style, jetairimpactwrench forged-steel driveline components. it is lightweight enough to navigate marshes or hilly wooded tracks that could bog down a heavy tractor or four-wheel drive truck. it will pull a water trailer and, in its rear box, will carry several bay bales to livestock in a distant, dry pasture.
