I am getting ready to build the new pool house but I don't trust the original water line because it is thin-walled PVC and not buried deep enough in some places.

Titan Clamp On Trailer Receiver – A Review
The Titan Clamp on Trailer Receiver was one of the first attachments I bought besides the ones I got with my tractor. It has proved well worth the $69 I paid for it on Amazon and has become my favorite tool for moving trailers around.
A 3-Point Leveling Box for My Kubota L3901
The standard adjustable side link on most tractor 3 point systems certainly work for adjusting the angle of your three point system, but they are a lot of work and hassle to adjust. That's why leveling boxes are so handy to add to your tractor.
Greenworks 40V Cordless Chainsaw Review
I have had this chainsaw for about 6 months now and have cut a lot of wood with in that time, so I think I can give it fair evaluation. I have to admit I was very skeptical of battery powered chainsaws, but this thing has won me over.
A Versatile Tractor Carry All for Your Tractor
When it comes to tractor attachments, one of the most useful ones you can have is a 3 point mounted carry all. It is also one of the most affordable attachments if you buy a carry all frame and build it yourself.
