A different use for a hedge trimmer

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

My driveway has a portion that has a steep rocky bank, where I have two 2 X 12's . One end is resting on four milk crates ( two high ) I mostly use them to drive my lawn tractor onto so I can clean the under-side of the 54" mower deck with a garden hose .... well the grass grows quite well there and I could only use a String Trimmer to clear it .... well today the grass and plants were so thick the Trimmer wasn't doing a very good job .... Then I thought of trying my Electric Hedge trimmer :clap::clap::clap: It worked waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the String Trimmer and waaaaaaaaaaay faster .... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: You have no idea how strong these Plastic milk crates are .... I once used four of them, one under each tire of my toyota echo ( 3100 lbs.) .... each one had a 3/4" piece of plywood on top of it ( under each tire ). NO I didn't go under the car, but the car was stable ..... Mike :thumbup:
