That is so funny, I was just talking to some of my buddies the other night about needing to build some sort of vac. that could be hooked to my little aluminum trailer. That way I could push the trailer/vac around the yard to where it is needed, with out having to drive thru the yard and leaving ruts when it's wet. I haven't started anything yet. Still trying to figure out if I want to go electric or gas. Gas would be more portable, but I wont be doing anything really out of my yard/neighborhood. So a 100' extension chord attached would get me my power. Then I wouldn't have to worry about another engine on something I only use a couple months out of the year. My other big question is pickup hose. What to use? I have seen some commercial ones that have a nice big 10" dia. flex hose, but not really sure if I need something that large. Been looking around from some 6" flex hose, but haven't seen anything that I like the price of yet either.
So let me know if you come up with any great ideas I can steal from you.

Welcome to our little corner of the forum... I grew up on a cattle farm, but now the ground is all leased out. I am back to living on the farm, but just not a fully operational one by us.

Hello all, I'm from Camanche and recently acquired a 96 F250 2wd with a 460, auto tranny, and a LS 4:10 axle. with a whopping 31,000 miles on it. It isn't one of my favorite colors, but the price was right. I traded our old high mileage (4,800 miles) quad for it and threw in a couple grand to a guy that left it sit for 2 years, so I think I came out decent. I used it to pull my wheeling Jeep to Indiana two weeks ago and will say I am very pleased with it's towing ability. Anyways, thanks for listening to me ramble.
