    That’s a good idea for the basket Dick! Thanks for taking us along! Really cleaned up the driveway nice! Andrew from NB :)

      I've used that basket for a lot of things... works great.

    I thought of this the first time I lifted a tote with the pallet forks. It immediately occurred to me that I don't trust anyone to run the tractor while I'm in the lift. I knew I needed a clone. One of me to trim trees and one of me to drive the tractor. Oh and one more. Somebody to blame and yell at when it all goes wrong. Since clones aren't available my wife will have to fill two of the rolls. I'll be driving the tractor. 😆 Excellent video!

      Thanks so much for watching and thanks for the comments. I totally understand what you’re saying. I have complete confidence in myself to safely run the tractor with someone else in the lift, but not vice versa lol. Hope you subscribed… I really appreciate it.

    I did that with the kids just the other day so they could pick the peaches out of the top of the tree! Nice job Dick and Jose! Work smarter not harder!

    I'm enjoying your videos. Great idea with the IBC tote. We use our IBC totes for firewood, rainwater collection, and raised bed gardens. You definitely have an A1 helper.

    Hi Dick. Nice idea for the tote. We made a cage out of steel tubing that we bolted on a pallet for a man lift. I’m glad to see you strapped it fast to the frame. You just have to trust the loader operator. Thanks for another great video. Keep on moving buddy!

      Hey Chris. Thanks for watching! You are right… it’s critical that the loader operator is slow and cautious.

    Looks like the quick attach latches are not latched. Good idea using a old tote frame

    I’ve done this same thing on my channel. You can use these totes for so many different things!

    • @oldguyfirewood

      They are getting hard to find. I use to get them for free, then they went to $20, and now they are selling on Market place for $60-$100! I just found another free source... we'll see how long it lasts.
