a couple things before you get very disappointed in the mini skid. first always carry the bucket and any attachments as low as possible for safety reasons. the jerkyness will go away after you get 10- 20 hours on the machine. mainly before you go doing ANY WORK warm up the engine and change the oil and oil filter. the mineral oil in the engine is to prevent rust, it is a very poor lubricant. get it out of there. after the engine locks up its just a bit too late. regular Briggs and Straton oil filters work. If yours has a rato engine you can get air filters at harbor freight. the same engines are sold under the predator name.
Hey Lee! I wanted to ask as far as renting out the tents where do you rent them out to parks? if so do you have to pay for a permit if you did want to use a park and who pays for the permit you or the customer?
The lift is about 800lbs (ish). I will be moving weights with it. Currently figuring out all of my options and looking to create a boom to lift marquee frames, and a hook for weights under 500lbs. I feel like this is my approach to get my feet wet and will likely lease a real (Avant) loader with Ox attachments eventually. One step at a time!
Please i want to ask if it's possible to paint a party tent from let's say the typical white to black or something ?

Very intriguing! Do you think this thing can handle block and roll?

Hey Lee,
Would this require its own trailer or can it go in the trailer/box truck?
It will require its own trailer for my current offerings. It’s roughly 1800lbs.
Will this be able to move tent blocks?
Yes. It can lift up to 850lbs. I will need different attachments to do specific jobs.
Speak of the Devil! It's a tent(ish) video! Let's hope this works out as planned 👌
Great add on! Buy snow skid and in the winter time you can make extra money clearing snow.
Or at the very least, your own driveway. AND the fun that goes with it!
