Where would we be without hydraulic power? /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
After agonizing for several months over how to get my tools into the basement of our new house, I decided to use my new source of hydraulic power to my advantage. This past weekend I used my FEL to ever-so-gently lower my table saw and my planer/joiner into the basement. At 500+ pounds each, I was not looking forward to doing this job "manually" but I was hesitant about using the tractor to lift something that would be dramatically damaged if it got dropped.
Dad and I took plently of time "staging" the event before we actually lifted the tools, but we got everything down the bulkhead and into the cellar without incident (and with my back intact!). ...thank you Mr. Kubota...
All I need to do now is run a couple of 220V lines and the wood chips can start flying again! ...I wonder if I can figure out a way to use the backhoe to help with that job? /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
