what's your new toy?

Re: what\'s your new toy?

Villengineer, okay, it's my mistake. Sorry. I should have explained. It should have been "dump" instead of "damp". That is, this trailer/wagon is a "dump trailer", that is, the wagon can be lifted/tilted. It is powered by the small engine (10-15 HP) of the walk behind, what you call, motocultivator? See attachment.

Bczoom, good one. Its engine is 2-cylinder? Whats its price about?

Egon, yours is not "tak-tak" because your engine has 4 or more cylinders. Yours is "wroom-wroom". We call only 1 or 2 cylinder engine trailers as "tak tak"

Re: what\'s your new toy?

Last two pics made it clear to me. before the I was very confused (but that is easy to do to me)

Here a Tak Tak. There a Tak Tak. Everywhere a Tak Tak. A Nova Scotia Tak Tak made for Nova Scotia.

Re: what\'s your new toy?

Now that makes more sense, with the power head on it (makes it go "tak-tak").

I have been to Turkey, and found it a very enjoyable experience, even though I was there for only two weeks, mostly working with the wood importing industry but visited sawmills, a paper mill, a carpet mill, and a door and window operation. Great food!

Re: what\'s your new toy?

Beenthere, where have you been to? Let me guess, the city Bolu? Wood industry is big there and their meal is indeed good.

Egon, I just bought a new toy yesterday (see attachment.)
Do you have such a toy in your New Scotland, I mean, Nova Scotia?

Re: what\'s your new toy?

We have such implements here Nomad. They are kept in proper condition and pulled by oxen or horses at country fairs. Always a competition to see who can plough the straightest furrow.

If you paid money for the pictured item you've been had. The wood frame is rotted and probably would not even make good firewood. The rusted out metal parts are not worth the cost of transporting to a scrap dealer.

The farmers here rely more on the attached type of implement for soil preparation.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( this is "a toy", like all CUTs are, not an item which will help you make money. )</font>

I have to take a minor good hearted /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif offense to this statement.
As much as my tractor was purchased because I wanted it more then I really needed it. It is Far from a Toy !! It is a Very Valuable Tool ! and in the 1.5 years that I have owned it, it has earned, in actual billable hours, Many of its own monthly payments.
Some of it's 161 hours were put on it for the mere fun of it, but most of those hours were created out of the tractor earning it's own keep.

Re: what\'s your new toy?

Mark, why do you take an offense. I meant CUTs were not to make money, not to earn your life, not real agricultural equipments. I still don't understand why they are called C. "Utilitarian" Tractors. Are they really so, really U? If yes, then show me a NON-utilitarian tractor and I will be convinced. Anyway-.. What? It has earned its monthly payments? Are you sure you also counted cost of oil it's drunk
?

Egon, we too have those "heavy metal" cultivators. Eye disturbing. It's something like a "copy & paste" of s-tines. I mean it's a too simple technology at this time. Have a look at another fascinating technology I bought together with that plow above (see attach.) You will feel much more Carbon atoms. Btw, guess what it is. A seeder or a fertilizer/manure spreader?
