Well got the Bannon cart delivered just in time today. Old Dominion showed up on time with a pup trailer like I suggested. Took her off with the 2032R, dropped her in the garage and went to work on it. Got four high flotation tires from Tricam, maker of the Gorilla cart, to replace those 8 stupid tires it came with.
We needed this today to carry the new 220 Hobart welder, tank, and tools to the wood furnace pavilion to weld the water jacket that sprung a leak a couple days ago. We had to get it done because the elements in the back-up 80 gallon water heater somehow went bad, plus we have 10-12 inches of wet snow/sleet coming at 6pm until 12pm Tuesday.
Didn't have time to snap any pics putting it together, or while we were welding, just a couple quick ones, just throwing the tools in the house to dry off. Then took it back down to the pavilion to load up the bark from splitting till we get a chance to run it thru the new chipper.
Main uses will to be towed behind chipper, to haul cut wood, and equipment clearing felled trees, and bark collection for now. Wheel axles are too long for retro-fit wheel, so need to grab some spacers for shafts so axle nuts can be torqued properly.
Over all very happy with it. Do wish Tricam was making the Gorilla Cart this year, would have saved me the 120 in extra wheels, plus the spacers. Couldn't wait till they started making the gorilla cart. Needed it now. Oh well it is what it is.here's a few quick pics at the end of a long hard day. Didn't even get the furnace leg extensions welded up or installed. Just didn't have the time or energy.
