I have been mulling over an idea that probably will not make sense here in New Brunswick where I live but would most likely make sense in larger more dense areas.
I have a Tractor and a couple of attachments, but from time to time it would be great to have more attachments for simple projects around the yard. I don't have a money tree growing in my yard as I would love to have a bunch more attachments but justifiying them is difficult.
I have a Rear Blade and Snow Blower but this year will most likely need a Landscaping Rake, Boxblade, and maybe Land Plane for landscaping projects around the house. I suspect I will buy them, use them for a week or so then pretty much never use them again if not maybe once a year.
I am just talking out loud here and have by no means sat down and thought this through, but it would be great if I knew other people with some attachments that I could rent/borrow for these small projects. If everyone had some attachments and were responsible it would be a large cache of attachments that can be utilized on an as needed basis and as a group, maybe we could cover a list of the most popular attachments? I would easily go out and buy another like a BoxBlade or Rake if I knew someone who had some others. Tiller, Spreader, etc, the list goes on and on. Again responsible is the key word here as I know the biggest issue would be someone borrowing your stuff and bringing it back broken.
Here the Geography couple with the fact that the population in NB is spread amoung almost 3 indentical in size cities, makes this kind of talking points for me.
From what I know, there is no place to rent any attachments so maybe that is the other angle.
Thoughts? Ideas? Crazy Talk?
