Looks like an interesting find. But I wouldn't want to have to use it:laugh:

Seems like every equipment auction I go to when I want to buy a tractor, I always get out bid but pick up a couple of saws cause nobody else there is interested in them. I got a jonsered 920 for $10 once at a tractor auction.

Is that the space saving all-in-one riding mower/weight bench?

Ashton Ia.. 1 mile south from the cemetery.. 1 mile west ,half mile south. Pretty nice sale.. i was hoping for sleet rain 2 feet of snow to part out them "bidders that cant lose". But it was a decent auction. Got 150ft of hay loft rope. nice newer fancy dancy microwave, old scwhin bike, and some other odds and ends. Always looking for auctions to goto .. never know what i could pick up
