Preparing equipment for planting is in full swing in some parts of the country, and planting is going on in many other states. Let’s take a look at a piece of equipment than can make your job much easier if you have any of these impairments:
Visual impairment – It can be used effectively by workers with one eye.
Injured back or stiff neck – use it to see behind the cab without twisting your back.
Knee or hip arthritis, paralysis and mobility impairments – use it instead of climbing.
Spring again. Renewal. Winter is going away, washed away by rains. Farmers are looking out at their fields, debating how soon they can get out and start working. Long hours spent in the cab. Bouncing up and down over all sorts of terrain. Do you remember the old tractor seats? Maybe you still have one.
Yes, you can still mow your grass even if paralyzed, have a leg amputation, stroke, MS or other disabling condition! Mowing your own lawn can save you money and provide healthy outdoor activity. Lawncare or groundskeeping can be an enterprise for a worker with leg and mobility impairments. Many of the same adaptations for farm […]
If you are anything like me, then a lot of the yard clean up was left last fall and needs to get done now! I look outside and I see fallen branches, blown in garbage, a lot of gravel thrown up in the lawn from snowplows, gutters full of leaves, and leaves that were blown into my yard after I raked last fall, not to mention a few toys and such the kids left outside in the snow and are now exposed with the snow gone. Spring clean up can be a pain, but there are lots of things that can make the job easier for all of us.
Remember how we talked about the Easy Lift Harness back a few months ago? Perhaps you didn’t catch it as it wasn’t something you had a need for. Well, spring is just around the corner now and the whole country will finally hit warmer months. Whether you are a professional landscaper, tree trimmer, groundskeeper, or even just someone who has a decent amount of trimming to do, it’s time to start thinking about pulling out that equipment to make sure it is in good working order.
Well, if you are one of those mentioned above and you have some sort of limiting disability or injury, why not look into something to make your job easier, or even possible?
We here at Disability Work Tools are dedicated to helping you – the working person – to maximize your potential and be able to continue your job regardless of disability, injury or disease. We also like to think we can help by encouraging folks to look on the inside– inside our hearts – where we are all wounded and hurt to some extent or another. We encourage you to look to God for those hurts.
Spring is here! (Or at least the official date, it snowed yesterday here!) The birds have arrived and are chirping. If you are from Michigan as I am, then the arrival of the common Grackle is a great sign. (Robins frequently winter over here, so don’t really count as a spring bird.) Maple syrup season is in full swing and it is time to start planting in the house. The mailbox is beginning to be stuffed with a myriad of seed and nursery catalogs.
Farmers or ranchers with arm/hand injuries, back problems or limited strength can connect wagons and implements with 
PTO shafts to the tractor without leaving the tractor seat. Easily hitch PTO implements such as feed grinders, hay balers & mowers, manure spreaders, and clevis wagons such as hay racks or bale haulers.
Winter calving is well underway, and spring calving is just around the corner. This is the time I have always enjoyed. Seeing the new calves out with their mothers is a sight that cannot be duplicated!
I’d like to talk about those crucial first few hours and days of a calf’s life, especially during this time of year.
Many tasks on the jobsite are limited when a worker is overweight. So what is the best strategy for workers to maximize their efficiency on the job? 1. Obviously, lose weight. But that takes time, and many days of work need done in the meantime. Well, get started anyway. The state of Michigan has a […]
