Prater 75 #1 Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) We used the 416 with the tiller for an odd job this weekend. I have to get the back patio retaining wall finished before I can list my house for sale, have to sell due to the divorce... Here are a few pics of us using the tiller to break the hard ground. We could barely get a shovel in the ground and its not even freezing yet... At least it took out the major backbreaking work...

Doesn't look like my 416-8? The gal looks happy though! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prater 75 #5 Posted November 26, 2012 Sparky, Its a 416-8 that I changed the hood and column on. The blackhoods have a much stronger steering column. The old column was worn and wobbly even with the welded "fix" that I tried. Stevebo, No worries about the divorce...I was the one who asked for it. Just cant requalify on the home so I have to sell it. No biggie, I will be going from one acre to four acres and its where the garden plot is located.

1maidenfan 201 #7 Posted November 26, 2012 Sounds like an UPGRADE to me ! Nice work on the retaining wall. :happy-jumpeveryone: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,967 #8 Posted November 26, 2012 Thats going to be a nice retaining wall when you finish. I've been using the same block for walls around my house and down at the end of the driveway. You picked a good time of the year to lay them. They are no fun to handle when its 100 degrees and sunny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prater 75 #9 Posted November 26, 2012 I know, I started this project a few years ago. The blocks weigh about 80 pounds a piece. The step blocks weigh 110 pounds. I have Daddy Don picking up the last four 110 pounders tomorrow... Here is an old pic of the previous work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,967 #12 Posted November 28, 2012 My back is sore just thinking about the next one hundred or so of those I have to lay next Spring. They are here waiting for the Winter to pass. I like how you use your tiller to break up the ground to lay your starter course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prater 75 #13 Posted November 28, 2012 A buddy came over and backfilled the gravel and leveled out some dirt while I was working. Great friends I have... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dbartlett1958 96 #15 Posted November 28, 2012 I like the front mounted receiver hitch set-up. May have to copy that on mine. I have one on my Toyota 4-Runner, but never thought about the Wheel Horse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
