Needed to lift a poly water tank in order to level up the bottom of the hole before planting it forever. Sloppy backhoe work, but it was free so who's complaining. Tank's too heavy to lift by hand, so I drove the W200 with the service box and boom down the hill to lift it, kind of steep and brushy. WOOOOSH!! a stick went right through the sidewall on the P-side rear, made a 5" slice. Which sucks 'cause these are LR E tires (General radials...cheap junk apparently) in decent shape. Never had that problem with the half-bald 9.00 recaps on the M-37.
Sucked 'cause I was on a side-hill. Cool thing is the service box has outriggers, I blocked the front, put a block under the downhill stiff-leg and lifted that side up, changed the tire in about 5 minutes. Worked so slick I had write this and brag about it. The box and boom are definitely going on my '57 ff project
