DR sears 19118 air wrench 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 19118 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 air 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 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 wrench cart will let you haul bulky or heavy loads of all kinds over an acre sears or so of flatland. a word of 19118 caution: don''t overload air 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 wrench and sears ledge. the load (twice the cart''s rated capacity), collapsed the spokes in both wheels. 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 19118 the most inopportune times.deere''s gator: for moderately heavy hauling air 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 wrench 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, 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. ©2003 www.air-impact-wrench.com.
