You may know that the being a member of AOBA (Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association) enables you to buy JD products at a discount. Not that I can really take advantage of that myself as i have all the John Deere products I am ever likely to need.

One of my favourites is the JD Gator it is a real work horse and I would be truly lost without it here on the alpaca farm.

Over the holiday weekend we transformed it into a mobile beer deliver vehicle.
A small horse trough fits perfectly into the back into which we lowered two half kegs of ale from the local Caldera micro brewery. Which just happens to be where my eldest son Jamie is working during his summer vacation.
Then we linked in the CO2 to pump the ale from the kegs and through an inter-cooler that really chills the beer until it comes flowing ice cold from the taps.





Maybe I should start a competition here for the most innovative use of a John Deer Gator?
