Good plan.



Hey the on topic plan lasted almost 4 days. It is a start.



To Donnie, have you looked at these?

You might be able to make one with a bit of ingenuity and the right

kind of motor. I think that if I was just using it next to the house

I would use an extension cord and an AC gear head motor.





Those things are a couple grand. I would do what you said, or like Tim

said, hook a winch to the trailer, and run it off the boat battery.



I'll rule that model out.
Smallest starts at $1025 and by the time I got it here with taxes,
shipping, brokerage & duty... probably close to $2K
Besides.. it doesn't use the trailers coupler... site says you somehow
insert the tongue jack on top of the dolly.
??? My tongue jack has a big 8" wheel.


Seriously Don... Get to craigs list and get a 6 hp rototiller... Remove
the blade and have sombody bolt or weld a ball on the thing... Just find
one for a couple hundred bucks that is self propelled and look up
anybody locally with a set of end wrenches and a welder, another 35
dollars and maybe even a case of beer and you are golden...


What would drive it if you tale the augers off?
