My first job with the tractor.

Was a good day with the 856. Did a lot of trimming on over grown bushes. The 856 ran like a champ.  very happy with it so far. I like this Jackson  7.5 better than the W/H brand. I have had most of them. just my 2 cents.

Nice rig! I have the same trailer and family has  had it for nearly 40 years!

Nice looking combo you have!

 

Looked up Jackson Manufacturing since I wasn’t familiar with them.  Established in 1876 in Harrisburg, PA.  Bought and trademarked by Ames.

The factory was running up until October of last year (2023).  Looks like they (Ames) now sell wheel barrows sourced from China.

Interesting history; thank you for sharing!
