What is the most useless piece of equipment

[JDgreen227]

I hope my back blade isn't going to be my most useless piece of equipment this winter... I can't turn it to the maximum angle as it hits the rear tire so i'm not sure how well the snow will slide off of it.
I might endup doing 3 passes, 1 to each side with the blade and one down the middle with the bucket to clean up the spoilage. Maybe I should wax it!

There is no need to turn it to the maximum angle. Snow, even if wet and heavy, will slide off your RB without any difficulty. Although my Frontier RB1072 can be rotated 360 degrees, the snow doesn't seem to care if the blade face is forward or rearward. Waxing may work, but there are those who suggest spraying the blade with WD-40 or cheapo non stick cooking spray.

Since I don't have a FEL my dirt scoop, dirt slip, or whatever else they are called is one of my most used attachments. The most useless for me would be a 3pd PHD that runs off the PTO and cannot be reversed. A hydraulic PHD would be useful. My box blade with TNT hydrulics is the cats meow.

I successfully used one to auger ~350 3' deep holes. Twice it got caught up to where I had to manually back it out of the hole. No fun, but once I got a better feel for it ... operate it at about 1/2 full PTO speed, & lower it into the soil very slowly when clay is present ... never happened again.

My useless, rather never-used, piece of equipment is the ~$150 sub-soiler I bought at TSC. Sure thought I would use it to drag through the ground to lift roots out or help dig trenches, but nope I never did. It is currently sitting outside in the weather - I think I will at least bring it in under cover.

If you consider a piece of equipment useless and never use it, just sell it. But, I can almost guarantee that within a few years you will be kicking yourself because you don't have it anymore.

I have not used my landscape rake in, I bet, 6 years. I have loaned it out a couple of times in that period. I also loaned my post hole digger to one of my friends and I haven't seen it in 4 years. The guy did buy a new auger for it though. I have no plans on selling either of the attachments. Returned favors are ALWAYS a good thing and I still have some banked.

I believe it has been implied ... however applying uneeded and unused as useless is a re write of the language. Constant diffusion of meaning happens too easily and is to be avoided. If not, over time it becomes tedious to accurately express anything.

Perhaps the dictionary definition is the one that is diffused. The word, useless, is easily divided into use-less. If I use it less, is it useless? If useless is an absolute meaning no use whatsoever, then isn't most useless a misnomer? How can something be more or most useless if useless is an absolute? Isn't that implying less than zero? Hey, I understand what you are saying, but I'm just bein' a bit of the devil's advocate here.

What is the most useless piece of equipment?

The one you never use, that you have for sale, that nobody will buy.
