Well I'm wrapping up my landscaping job - I've added a lot of new yard. One thing thats bugged me since I started was this old trailer out in the woods. Well I got a 30 yd dumpster for our general clean-up and decided this was the time to get rid of this. Check it out - it looks like it has lead pipe framing. The toothbar made yanking it out of the woods a quick job.

I got a better hold on it so I felt safe lifting it over the sides of the dumpster... and away it went! Things are really looking up around here. I'll have some pics in a week or two when the whole job is complete.

Take Care,

On that last photo, it looks like you've taken off your FEL bucket and replaced it with the old trailer. I can't imagine why you would do that, but I guess the capacity is greater and you can dance ten feet in the air.

It's still in my driveway (in the dumpster) - You're welcome to it! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif It is in real bad shape - been sitting in the woods for years. Anyone who fixed it up would spend more time and $$ than just buying a good one to begin with.

That 4310 is earning it's keep ! Keep the photos coming as it's interesting to see the various uses for the FEL. Out of curiousity, how much is it costing you to dispose of the waste in the 30 yd. container ?

Are you sitting down??? The cost is around $450 for the job. Fortunately I can get a lot of junk into a 30 cubic yard dumpster.

Actually I was thinking what a great work platform it would make /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif - No the bucket is there sinking it's gnarly little teeth into the side. I was amazed that the trailer held itself together when I yanked it out of the woods. It was so rusted I thought it would start to fall apart.

Steve,
Thats' actually not bad compared to what contractors around here pay. I think the dumpster rental is $150.00 for delivery and pick-up, like $5 per day it remains on-site, and then the county charges about 50 cents per pound to dump in landfill. It's gotten to the point now most small outfits put waste in the back of a pick-up truck when possible to haul off - 6 bucks to get rid of all the bed will hold.
