Wanted: a car that is small, cheap and carries cargo!

[Gregadd]

Neither. It is an accessory that mounts underneath the tractor itself. You can see a version of it here:

It is an incredibly powerful unit. I ran over rebar that was vertically in the dirt like a post that was one inch thick and the thing sheered it off without me even knowing it! Sadly, it also tore off the sprinkler that was next to it also.

Yeah the Bushhog will eat anything you can get under it. Saplings are a specialty.

And here I was thinking I was nuts for having a verticutter for my little lawn/putting green!

 

[NorthStar]

Done that too . One of the main motivations behind the backhoe was to be able to dig the 40 ditches for our fruit trees. Can't image doing that work without it.

Need your help Bob on trimming the trees properly .

It's called prooning (Winter) and thinning (Spring). ...I used to do that as a full time job (Okanagan Valley).
In the Summer & Fall, I picked the fruits.

* Depending of the size of your trees, it should take no more than a day or few.

Sure would be nice if Suzuki brought this cute thing to US:

NICE!!!!

I didn't know they've gotten TONKA to do their industrial design

Even this one would do:

Can you tell I am getting desperate? It is remarkable that no one imports a small pick up truck or utility into US anymore .

Amir,

Have you considered the Ford Explorer Sport Trac:

Might be some tremendous deals with the inventory being sold off.

How about a used Subaru Baja? They should be quite easily available in the US - especially the Pacific Northwest where Subaru is a popular brand. I've seen them on the roads in Bellevue/Redmond.

They are still too big Lee. The UTVs are around 120 inches which means when I park them in my garage, there is room left for other things. The US trucks take up almost the entire length of our garage.

Per above, looking for something shorter and more manageable around the yard and in the garage. If that didn't have a back seat, it would work great.

Unfortunately, nothing I can think of that we had back in Singapore is imported. May be Jack might be able to send you something from the Philippines.

I have looked at the mini trucks Lee. The issue with them is parts and such. if I could find a local dealer it may have been a decent option. But the nearest one is in the next state over. Still, they are tempting given the cab, heater and such which come in handy here.

 

[RBFC]

Boy, you're a tough customer!

Polaris

OK, last try tonight.

If you're not planning on driving it on-road, and just for your own place.... I'll have to read about street legalization of these, but there are parts available, etc.

Suzuki Amir, Suzuki. Lots of second hand Samurais and the like in your area available for cheap. Go to a body shop and chop the rear cab off.

Used compact Japanese pickup truck. Get one well-maintained to nearly 100,000 miles, it will do what you're asking of it for another 10 years.
