I herniated a disc in my back in October 2015. My back is not capable of taking abuse any more.
I look at the thousands of tons of rocks moved and made retaining walls, The Thousands of yards of material landscaped into pastures, roads and ponds, I can't do that now.
I've lost my knack with operating my excavator. A few years ago I was putting +500 hours a year on it working the farm while mostly unemployed. I amazed myself what I could do with the machine. No more. I cam operate it well still, but as far as using the bucket and thumb as if it were a hand, no longer am I that skillful.
If I'm careful I can still dead lift over 100 lbs, but I can not work like I used to be able. I am glad I got this far and the place is established but Now I need to figure ways to make life easier.
Like how do you take a few minutes to go into the woods to haul out 1/6 cord of wood? Or how to move buckets of manure from stalls without lifting heavy buckets. Take a 60 gallon tank of water out to the pasture?
This ought o be the ticket.
The carryall's internal dimensions are 57-1/2 wide x 33 deep x 27 high, just under 30 cubic feet. I can use a ramp to load something real heavy like my generator or just hump it 6" to load. This should prove handy. It will carry 6 bales of hay. My wife often uses the RTV, when I could be using it so I have something little for chores also.
