you could heel hook off the power lines! Spurs might be handy.

Assuming ~6' diameter (3')squared x ~20' high x pi = 565 cubic feet with 7.48 gallons of water per cubic foot = 4226 at 8.34 lb a gallon =

35,246 lbs something like that. Anyways it's pretty heavy

If that's your front yard, where do you park the truck?

Not quite front yard, but can be there in 5 minutes. Have done a climb over the lunch hour and was not late.
