    Yard work

    If my dad had me use a 3 wheeler to do yard work instead of a tractor or wheel barrow I would have done so much more.
    Took down a black walnut this weekend. Makes working in the yard a little more fun with a trike. I must have run 10 to 12 runs from one end of the property to the other. The amount of wood I was hauling wasnt that much at all. Just so much better using a trike than a lawn tractor.
    If I could find a pull behind mower for the right price I would sell my riding mower.
    I love having a Big red. If your thinking of getting one, just buy it.
    Sorry for the rant. Just had a good day lol.

    How did you use your trike to sweep leaves? I have a lot of trees and that would be a big help.

    Yep used one of them, works well when adjusted correctly but never gets all of them. But it also was an excuse to ride.

    What I need is a big pull behind rake to take all of the leaves to one spot to burn them.

    Well I cannot be without atleast one big red. As I have a 14' atv trailer that is too heavy to pull around with hands. I also use it to tow the trailer full of mulch and gravel around the yard so no need of a wheel barrel.
    86-87 Tecate ROCK!

    Ride fast...........brake late............and Slide the rear!

    Here's an oak I hauled off with 200es. I would load this trailer down big time and that old 200es would pull it, now stopping it was another story.
