I am gettin too old to work off a ladder all day. As
long as I don?t lose a hose this is great.

I understand if I stay on a ladder long my knees hurt so bad I can hardly walk when I get off of it. All I can say is be careful and make sure you check for leaks before climbing up every time.

an old friend once told me if it goes, don't jump. Just hang on and ride her on down.

I'm too old for even that.

I am in a lawn chair drinking a cold one and taking pictures, but when she needs help she has her own personal helper whether painting or doing wood.

Chain the bucket at angle you need then put an angle iron brace on lower arm and you would be much safer and stable. Have done it that way for years but have a walkway built 90degrees to bucket instead of built off end of it.

I'd be more worried about spilling the paint and messing up the tractor. LOL

If anyone wants to know why one of the reasons OSHA came into existence just look at the pictures.

donjr · Nov 30, 2017

This is only half true. The sudden stop can hurt. So, you ride it on down and step off just afore it hits bottom..........

FBH44 · Nov 30, 2017

Yeah youre exactly right. Oughta at least tie off the top and anchor the bottom so it doesn't pivot up and go=go-go.

Tractor helps a lot unless it's like mine and the loader won't stay up.

KenL · Nov 30, 2017

If the loader won't stay up, that's a good thing. Raise it up climb up fast, start painting and you can paint all the way down.

Where are Red Green, Bill and young Walter?

showcrop · Nov 30, 2017

How about a couple sticks wired to the loader controls? Then you would not need the ladder and you could do 10x20 swath of it without climbing up and down.

I had to send them for more duct tape.

Just noticed the second picture has at least TWO ladders. That needs a few buddies standing on the ground with adult drinks commenting on it....
