[TheForge] Shop Cranes was (Yes you do need power)

Frosty,

I was think of a low mass forklift or a "Bobcat" with
a back hoe, as well as other accessories. Right now I
am looking for a tractor of any sort to help work my
land. All the collectors have been buying up the old
medium size ones, which is what I need.

So I may get a John Deer D and rebuild it, take a
piece of rail road rail and make a plow out of it. The
get some old lawn mowers and make a drag gang out of
them.

Or the ulimate thing: hire a guy with one of those
great big giant tractors, when he or she is done, the
tractor goes home. So I don't have to maintain it.

Then my other thing around my place, we don't have
power outages very often, and I can only remember
maybe one in the last couple of years. Many people get
one of those little generators, I have a 15 Kw
multifuel, start iup peak of 22.5 Kw, auto idle, it
has wheels, type of generator. This will run my house,
 I know it will run my TIG welder and some other shop
equipment maybe at the same time.
