Pull-Type Picnic Table
 ✖  |
During harvest, supper time in the field is family time for us. But trying to balance a plate full of food on your knees can be tricky. So I built a pull-type picnic table that rides on four large caster wheels and has a hitch on one end, allowing us to pull it behind our pickup down the highway between farms. The table is painted Deere green and yellow and seats up to 16 people. I used parts off an old sprayer to build it. The supporting arms for the wheels are made from steel tubing. The rear caster wheels are locked, but I leave the front ones unlocked for road travel.
It took some persuasion to sell this idea to the women in our family, many of whom thought it would be embarrassing to travel down the road towing a portable table picnic. However, once they tried it they enjoyed it. The table is a real conversation piece in our area. (Benny Friesen, Rt. 1, Box 16, Morris, Manitoba, Canada R0G 1K0 ph 204 746-8436)
