    My neighbor needed a hand bringing some firewood home from his friends property so we grabbed my dump trailer and went for a ride. He is loading in this picture but I got to drive it for a while. Driving a articulating loader sure was strange for the first couple of minutes until I got used to it. Hydraulics are the way to work!

    That is how I felt! It makes my kubuta I have at home feel like a garden tractor.

    If you were closer I would give you a hand. A dump trailer is one of those things that until you have access to one you don't know what you are missing.

    I know. I feel extremely fortunate to have things like Kubota's to make my life easier. It was more humbling than anything driving that loader around, picking up a full bucket like it was empty. Lots of fun!

    As long as equipment is available for your use, go for it. Big equipment like that only shows up in my dreams and not in my yard:picard:
