    Look at that little Yanmar go! Wow, pretty impressive lift.

    This is an interesting wood shed, can't say I've seen one like it. :yes:

    Its a working lil machine. It will lift both back tires of my truck off the ground by the receiver hitch. Its a 7000lb Cummins. Probably 3000lbs on the rear axle. (lift until the tractor's rear wheels are in the air then drive/lever/force the tractor under the truck o_O).I don't know how I've not destroyed the Yanmar yet. Its my tractor, ATV, dozer, log skidder, fork lift, man lift, work horse, etc.

    It looks like you chained that pole to the bucket somehow, but I would have been puckering the whole time lifting it hoping it didn't roll off the back!

    That was definitely a concern. It was chained on both sides but I also made sure to keep the bucket tilted forward. Its a fairly common farming accident.

    Another power pole shed, Sweeet! I know it's overkill but those poles ain't goin anywhere for a long time. My shed is built on 6 poles set 36" deep at 18ft apart. It's SOLID!

    Even the big bad wolf would have a hard time blowin it down.

    I got about half the perlings on and ran out of screws. The rest of the hardware is 3" lags. 1/4" and 5/16" diameter.
