I have a Whirlygig on my Kabuki - and it works!

First I want to thank everyone for the advice on this above ground pool. The pool is in now, and so is the power to my barn.

Above Ground swimming pool advice needed


We got a downpour in the middle of excavating for the pool and the Bobcat driver left. We had to wait for a week for the place to dry out and then he wasn't available. The pool guy came over to do something while I was tilling my garden and said, 'Ya know, if you used that Whirlygig on the back of yer Kabuki there to loosen this up we might be able to finish out this site prep."
Well, I Whirlygigged the heck out of it and moved the dirt with the loader and did what he described as a mighty fine job.



We got 5 1/2 inches of rain in 30 minutes, and put the pool job on hold for a whole week.

Good looking installation. I think an above ground pool is a better investment than a below ground one. I hate looking at pictures of tractors. Gets me wound up with thoughts of buying a new one. The only thing that saves me is realizing the newer ones of comparable size don't do any more than my old one with only somewhere around 700 hrs. on it.
