I've been to countless yards and seen it done many ways. But barrels and totes are not the way to go. The Axe has way to many things that can go wrong not to mention tons of safety problems. This drill system is okay other than the fact that break down a lot and cost a fortune to up keep. The way to go is to not money around with the whole situation and get a Vortex Machine. These guys have it done and make very nice systems for any sized yard.
