Um Chris you are going to need to swap the CK27 off for a DK40 to lift that 1800 pounder

I have a tripod and chain hoist to lift it up then I back the trailer under.

Ck is great. 42 hours so far. My spring prep is done so it probably won't see another 10 hours before fall. I'm gonna go ahead and do my 50 hour soon.
Ya, I read that you joined the pack. That is awesome. Any problems so far?

None so far, about 28 hours. It has more lift, more push, more low end torque. And wile it has a bunch of electrically activated cool things (PTO, Cruise,4WD) The feature I like the most is the telescoping lower links and sway bars:thumbsup: Well the 4WD switch is pretty cool too:laughing:

So Chris. . . aren't you ever tempted to plant a few tomatoes over in corner of that punkin' patch?:laughing: Good luck with your growing season. You have a wonderful looking family too.:thumbsup:

We grow tomatoes. (grew a 4 pounder last year). Trying long gourds for the first time this year. (picture a 10' zucchini) Giant melons.
Then we have our vegy garden where we grow food.

Thanks!

Ya. The pembrooke Ontario weighoff does that. I think you will find a couple YouTube vids from 2010 when Rick Mercer was there.
