Viborg Havemaskiner - Viborg, Denmark - Elevated Everyday Objects on Waymarking.com

Denne havetraktor er placeret på en søjle ved indkørslen til Viborg Havemaskiner. Modellen er fra firmaet Craftsman og den har oprindeligt været grå. Da firmaet fik dekoreret deres bil med folie så den kom til at ligne en græsplane, fik man samtidig pakket denne gamle havetraktor ind i samme type folie så den kunne tjene som blikfang for firmaet. Det viste sig dog at en havetraktor ikke kunne godkendes som en del af den planlov der beskriver hvordan og hvor butikker må placere skilte for deres butik. Før traktoren kunne placeres på søjlen hvor den står idag skulle der søges en byggetilladelse fra Viborg Kommune. Den fik man og så kunne traktoren komme på plads.

This lawn tractor is placed on a pillar at the entrance to Viborg Garden Tools. The model is manufactured by Craftsman and it was originally gray. When the company had their car decorated with foil to make it look like a lawn, this old garden tractor were decorated with the same type of film so that it could serve as an eye catcher for the company. It turned out, however, that a lawn tractor could not be approved under the Planning Act that describes how and where shops may place signs outside their store. Before the tractor could be placed on the column where it stands today, the compagny had to aquire a building permit from the municipality of Viborg. They got is and the the tractor ended in this elevated location.
