Schaffer 2020 mini loader weds agility and strength
Tony Carter, with his partner Lorraine, is developing a
garden at their 25-acre property, Dymesbury Nature Park near Albany in Western
Australia. The Carters provide bed and breakfast accommodation and the gardens
are a popular venue for weddings.
Tony, who
formerly ran a rural machinery business in Albany, says he bought the Schaffer
2020 mini loader – the smallest machine in the range – because it was much
better than anything else he had seen. He was particularly impressed by the
quality of steel used in the framework and lifting gear.
“It’s a
wonderful little machine,” Tony says. “It’s highly manoeuvrable and versatile.
It can get in anywhere, it has a good load carrying capacity and it’s very
convenient.”
Tony has been
using the mini loader for gardening work, maintenance and cleaning up the
forest floor.
The unique,
picturesque property includes some native forest, with huge karris and lots of
wattle trees, as well as some European trees, such as oaks, and an abundance of
native birds and animals.
Tony has
established the garden with a feature planting of roses on a series of terraces
next to an avenue of magnolia trees planted almost 100 years ago. He has found
the Schaffer 2020 mini loader to be ideal for manoeuvring in and out of the
terraces.
Other jobs
where his Schaffer mini loader has worked its magic include road building and
constructing sand pads for several aviaries.
Tony says his
Schaffer mini loader has saved him and Lorraine a lot of time and hard work.
“If we had done this work manually, it would have taken two years. But we did
it in two months. It’s removed the physical side of gardening,” he says.
