I like it! Looks great.
But I was wondering...do we PT'ers give the impression that we are having way too much fun ;~)

I don't miss my truck since I got an SUV and a 10'x6' trailer....Mulching for me has never been easier. See the photo. I pull the trailer to where I need it with the PT. Then I shovel directly from the trailer and use the PT bucket to carry my tools and stuff. The PT has it's limit on hills and heavy loads when I pull this trailer.

Well, I finally got back to my 2006-2007 project. I started working on the block wall for my RV parking area next to the pole barn.
THe PT was used for spreading stone, digging out the hill, moving block on a pallet, and dumping dirt and gravel behind the wal, (for each layer of block).
First pic is the PT and pallet I used to move the stone block. At between 20-80lbs per block, it does nto take much to exceed the lifting capacity of the PT. You can tell when you have too much on the pallet when you try to lift the block and your back side goes up instead!

After a couple of layers of block, I used the 4 in 1 bucket to dump the gravel for drainage behind the wall. Then I followed with the dirt behind the gravel. I will end up with 24" of stone behind the wall most of the way to the top. I laid in a 4" drainage pipe at the base of the wall to relieve the water runoff.
I LOVE the 4 in 1 bucket for this kind of stuff!

Here's a shot of what I have done so far.
Also, if you are interested in my "other" project, you can visit Jim's Lightning Check the multimedia section to see some video of what I am building.
Now you know why I have been so scarce over the past year.
I'm still loving my PT though...
