So, I am attempting to get things lined up for the build project and I need to rent a quad/ATV/4 wheeler or something that is a bit more nimble than my F150 to haul bags of concrete, water barrels, mixer and genset up the hill to the building site. I thought I had a solution last year, when the rental place down in the town near me showed an ATV/SxS on it's website for rent.Sadly, today I called them and they stopped renting them because the insurance on them is too high.Now I'm stuck trying to figure something out. I may have to rent a tractor with a bucket from them to achieve the same thing ... which in itself wouldn't be terrible, it is just a change in plans that I had not expected. And I think they may decide that they need to deliver it (which is an additional charge) rather than let me pick it up (which I could easily do with the SxS).Well, now I need to find a solution to this issue.
Well, in the last week, I've come up with a short term plan, and begun to execute.First step: get an ATV... Ok, that's done. Now I need a trailer for it. Once that's done, I can get back to the property, and pour the footers. The ATV will allow me to haul the 150+ 80# bags of mix up to the site, along with all the other materials.I gotta get this project moving again.
I got an older Kawasaki Mojave ... 250cc's but it's a pain to start... It needs some work, but I did get a descent deal on it, so I'm not complaining too muchMainly I need it to get materials up the hill to the building site.
Run up there and mark trees and/or fell them, delimb, burn the slash and get the logs bucked and stacked. Winter is the time to do all of that work so in the spring you will be ready to mill
