New uses for diesel Mercedes

My grandfather said that in the 1940's he used his 1937 Chevy to plow the garden plot behind his house. My grandmother took pictures to prove it. I found this link extremely amusing, as I have been shopping for a yard rake to clean brush up in my yard after recent storms took down my trees and made a HUGE mess. Does a wagon qualify for this tool's usage prerequisites as a "utility vehicle?" If so, I will have to justify another diesel MB purchase to the wife to beautify her gardens...Enjoy this:

...and cheap, too! LOL

You might pull it with a 300D, 240D, no way.

At $60 a rake, you certainly qualify for something if you buy it.

You can practically buy a brand new yard vacuum machine for that.....and don't have to drive your car across your yard looking like a crazy person.
