New Toys (I mean tools) From Markham Delivered Today! - Page 2

I like the garage rule! Lets just say my workshop is currently in a condition that I don't even know whats in there.

Buying her gifts and flowers would make her extremely suspicious. I've tried to set low expectations on that front, and have succeeded.

great thing is, I now have 3 buckets in the front yard, but have heard no questions as to why

I love the stuff so far. Doubt I'll be using the crane any time soon, but the tree scoop and the rock bucket got a fair amount of use. Tree scoop is no substitute for a backhoe, but I think it made digging a big oak easier. I like it, but I'd put it fairly down the implement priority list.

Rock bucket has been great for removing junk from previous forest I'm in the process of converting to land. I've been using it sort of like a topsoil screener.

I would be interested in see in photo of all three of these. But I'm really interested in the "Crane". Haven't see one of the those listed at Markham.

Is the Markham "crane" different than a tree boom. This is the tree boom I got from Millonzi (RIP).

Why is getting tractor attachments so exciting? It's like christmas used to be when I was a kid.

Great thing is I've reached a critical toy mass where gf doesn't even realize there is new stuff lying around - it blends

Charles, maybe we send can some batteries for your camera? We were hoping for some pictures of you new Toy's I MEAN "Tools". Or did they get sent back?

I laughed out loud when I read that.... seems the same line is used around the world

Funny enough, that same rule applies in my wifes wardrobe!!

been busy using my "tools" haven't had a chance to take pics.

But yep, the crane is just a stretched tree boom - 10 feet plus 10 feet of FEL lift should get things up to most roofs.
