    Default Decorative Farmers Walk Implements?

    Any creative suggestions for something in the 80-100 pound range I can keep in the yard to use for farmers walks? Something purdy, like birdbaths or planters? Ideas?

    Get farmers walk handles with vertical loading bars, and when you're not using them, keep a fancy bowl filled with water on each post. Boom, bird baths.

    Dress them up like cherubs or something when not using them and they'll smarten up any garden a treat.
    This has merit, count this as one of my multiple votes.

    I actually have twins. But they are not heavy enough for farmer's walks. Very useful for pec flys and weighted chins however.

    That's a good idea, thanks.

    Me too. They are self-micro-loading. Every day they get a couple ounces heavier. Adequate for LP but not sure what to do for light days. Maybe have another?
