How's this for a garden accessory? Heck, every country gardener could use one of these. Maybe not all the time, but skid-steer loaders save a lot of back work when you're doing heavy garden construction jobs.
I took this picture at Canada Blooms, the big flower and garden show that finishes its five-day run in Toronto today. The show rarely features heavy equipment, so I have no idea why this machine was display.
My husband has rented skid-steers for a couple of jobs. Here he is on the machine a few years ago in the earlier stages of our garden making. The heavy equipment came in handy for moving the rocks, soil and gravel for creating his rock garden.
Elementary my dear gardener. The equipment was used as part of the show loading and unloading and part of the contract for providing the service was a "booth" at the show for publicity purposes by the equipment manufacturer. All in promotional values. :-)
ReplyDeleteBut it does make an excellent backyard statue. :-)
