The lift is stuck in the front yard.
I shoulda known not to drive a 12,000 lb machine on the grass two days after it rained.
But at least I can still reach the upper gable fascia to strip & paint it.

duh...that's what your feet are for..........That little bike is fun to ride.
It's also fun to modify.
I'm thinking about putting a hydraulic disc brake on the front. It just has a cable operated drum brake on the rear & it's inadequate for 45 mph.
You can probably stop an 80,000 lb truck faster than I can stop that minibike.

When I had to take down a 140' tall elm tree,I called my BIL who worked for a tree company.
They quoted almost 17 grand.
Fuck that.
Brought home a 125' boom lift from work.
Had the whole tree down and cut into fireplace size logs in 1 day.
BIL came over to see my handiwork. He said well ya,pretty easy with the lift. Lol
Got greedy and drove it to the other side of the yard so I could trim the neighbors tree.
That's when I needed to call the wrecker.
Oh well, shit happens. Lol

You stop to think about how far you're trying to reach.

Sarcastic remark goes here
The lift was climbing halfway out of it's hole before the tires would slip. I didn't figure it'd need much of a tug.Hell, you had to know that wouldnāt work
My ATV can drag any full size 2wd pickup backwards in grass in a tug-of-war as long as the guy in the truck doesn't hit the brakes.
It dragged a full grown apple tree about 200 yards to my burn pile after a tornado knocked it over.
It dragged a Mazda Miata with it's front brakes rusted up & skidding, with my dad's big black friend riding on the luggage rack.
Fuck it though. I went & bought a winch.

5000 lb winch wouldn't move it at all. I had to go get my dad and have him operate the winch while I was on the lift operating it's controls, and then once it was loose & started moving faster than the winch cable, it got stuck again thrice before I made it to the drier ground by where the tree roots soak up water.

I was gonna say twice but then I remembered it got stuck 3x.It got stuck again āTHRICEā?
Look at you with them fancy ass highbrow words Lol
Next youāll start talkin like Majah Chahles Emahson Winchestah from MASH
The 3rd time was because we purposely stopped because the winch cable wasn't wrapping up properly. It was piling up at one end of the spool.

I was a serious M*A*S*H* junkie. I still watch most of them on MeTV when I can stay up that late. Yeah, 6pm is late when you have to be up at 8:30 most nights.
I have every show from the first to the last on VHS tape. I wonder if they would still play or do like the 8 tracks do and just get bound up in the pinch rollers.
Pay attention, Gentlemen. I don't want to have to show this to you twice.

Is it on DVD that might be a better choice

It's on DVD. Not sure if it's all of the episodes. But I'm too much of a CSOB to spend the money on it.
