Well funnily enough as I note on my homepage I maintain my garden tractor, today I am doing the rototilling of my garden for fall and the tiller falls off the hitch as I am at the back end of the garden in the soft dirt. I’ve manage to put it back on again myself when it has fallen off close to the grass but since it weighs hmmm probably close to 500 pounds, I could not use my jack to lift it up in the dirt…no matter how many boards I would put down for a base.
In addition a hose had bust and I had the engine oil leaking out (which I hd recently changed a few weeks ago) I got a container to trap the leaking oil then I had to go to town and get a length of hose and a couple clips so I could replace it.
All done, got the hose, replaced the broken section and then asked for help. So unlike me to ask for help.
I called my buddy Hans at Minerva http://www.minervatreefarms.com
and luckily they were close and Hans and Kurt stopped by to help me. They managed to lift the tiller so I could move the tractor and get it back on the hitch then tighten up the lock and I was on my way to finish working the garden.
Thanks guys it is much appreciated!!
