The first one shipped out with two steps the package was 50 pounds.
We bought a pneumatic carton stapler to help keep the box closed.
I have another one sold I want to have a system down before I announce them, and a few made.

Looks pretty good!

My new plate roller is very heavy. I just bought it a 500 pound lift table. I will devise a way it t will not slide around and possibly fall off the table.
I will have do something with the handle and release mec. This will allow me to roll it out of the way when not using it.
Then I can raise it up to use it. Then when done lower it and move it out of the way.

It was on sale $159

The trenching buckets are announced for a couple weeks and are shipping.
14 out the door so far just over $5k in sales without adding shipping cost. That is a good launch for us. It is just me making them my son sandblast them.

The root rippers and Trenching buckets are all pulse Mig welded. I had a weld instructor over to help me out some very useful since I am just a YouTube welder.

This is what the new blade looks like.

We have now sold 51 trenching buckets.
In the last four months I have used over 88 pounds of mig welding wire.
It has been really busy. It is increasing each month.

Here is some of what we are shipping each week.
Plus steps Sentinels protectors.
I usually stock up over the weekend. It is Tuesday and we are almost out of everything and a dealer just added a bulk order.

I bought a new brush hog at the beginning of the summer and still have not connected it to my tractor.

My welding has really improved that is a good thing.

We have sold 75 Trenching buckets. This is turning into a real business. But it is still a weekend thing.
