Put PT422 on Side (Kinda)

[Barryh]

Thanks Tim,

I have been training myself to do that lately, but when I get to involved in digging or moving things my left hand is on the wheel, I still catch myself grabbing the wrong side when a wheel goes off into a ditch.

Barry,

I too have been wondering about how to stop my PT if/when a hose burst. You may be onto something there with a pivoting bar, maybe even with a modified "potato digger" on the end. I was thinking about tossing out a grapple or a Danforth pronged anchor /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You could make some nice handles out of 1/2 in round rod. just heat and bend in the shape of a handle and weld. It would also be a good place to hang your towel. While you are constructing this you might as well make a cup holder on top of the handle.

What I have pictured in my mind, is something like the steel rod that would extend down, like on the bottom of a set of double doors one door is anchored. Just larger and stronger.

It would have to be attached to a long handle with some sort of locking/pivoting device, and centered in the middle as opposed to the side as not to flip the PT.

When pulled back it would lower the rod and dig into soft ground. Of course if on payment it would scar the surface. I'm sure there are better ways just the first Idea that came to mind. Of course mean while we could use your idea and just throw out an anchor.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif better than nothing right /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That's a pretty cool idea J.J. Have you done this or thinking about doing this to your ROP's ? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
