Three-In-One Tool Saves Space And Money FARM HOME Miscellaneous 30-5-32 Why have three bulky, expensive motorized tools when you can have one machine doing all three jobs? That was the theory behind Mel Primrose's "three-in-one" invention.
The creative Westlock, Alberta man got the idea for his multi-purpose rig when he needed to rent a lawn edger for one hour's work.
"It cost me $42 to rent the edger and I thought it couldn't be that hard to make my own. As long as I was building it I figured I could make an easy-to-handle weed whip, too," says Primrose. "To make it even more useful I made a water pump for it, too."
Primrose built a frame from scrap metal and mounted a 4 hp Briggs and Stratton motor on it. He designed it so that the three belt-operated attachments are easily inter-changeable, thanks to pins at the back of the unit. He can raise and lower all of them, using a long piece of threaded rod with a handle.
The water pumping attachment has two outlets for his 50 ft. of garden hose equipped with sprinklers.
