my very first tractor project

[nosualc]

I got the playset from an outfit called rainbow play systems. They're based out of Brookings, SD. They are pretty popular here in the Minneapolis area. The quality of the materials, components, manufacturing is excellent, but they're pretty proud of their work, if you know what I mean.

Great Job,,,,,,

OK, let me get this straight - a 1000 sq ft sandbox with 50 TONS of sand... for the kids to play in...

Will you adopt me??

I thought it looked like a Rainbow system. We saw them at the home show this past spring. Big $....

Nos - hide those pictures because if my wife ever sees them she'll be on my case to build something that nice, After all thats what we bought the tractor for......right? Seroiusly that is very, very nice.

Just on another note.....you may want to remove your toothbar for snow removal, otherwise you may do damage under all that snow and not even realize it.

Until I saw the final picture I thought maybe you had gas or diesel powered toys for your kids!

Yep, yep, yep. I bought the toothbar just for digging in soil, which in our case is rock hard clay.

FWIW, I dug out the trench for the retaining wall foundation by hand. I was dearly wishing I had a backhoe (I just can't justify the $).

"4 - sandboxes are fun"

We had a big sandbox about that size when growing up.. it had a tin roof cover.. we'd stuff our tee-shirts in our pants and fill our shirt w/ sand until we had a big "sand-belly". (I'm sure my mom loved that on wash days.. which was every day w/ 5 kids.) My mom told me she would come out looking for me and find me sleeping in the sandbox.

I hope you have a plan for gettin the sand out when it comes time to convert the box to a basketball court. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
