…. This one sagged down after I backed a truck in to get a trailer, then the pipes on the truck snagged it and jacked it all up. The pipes didn’t give at all and ended up pushing the cab in at the top mounts 😤🫣🫨😫

I tried to salvage the door and strap it up in the air, but Dad was concerned that winds from a t-storm would knock it down onto hay equipment underneath. Sooooo we yanked it down and dragged it outside for the door guy to look at it and either fix it by some miracle, or get me a new one to put up. Yesterday was Friday 6/12 but it felt like a friday the 13th 😔

Ah yes, finally 🙌🏻 we have found the solution for “farm” owners who think they can badger you into making their rabbit patches of hay and do it first for them before your own much larger, more efficient/better quality fields 🤣. Think you can make your own hay better than your neighbor farmer??? ———— go buy the full lineup from this outfit and let er rip tater chip 🤗🤩🤭

to Robert Oberholtzer for encouraging me to move where I had the original hose clamp. Got on centered right on the fat part of the steel line and another one just after that “bulb” for good measure. 🤣🤗

Neat post!

Every trailer has a job.

And every driver has an opinion.

Dry van drivers think they're normal.

Flatbed drivers think they're tougher.

Tanker drivers think everybody else is soft.

And cattle haulers don't think about anybody at all 😭

Then you've got the heavy haul guys.

Dragging something the size of a small house.

Wondering if every bridge was built strong enough.

The truth is...

No matter what trailer is behind the truck...

The stress is the same.

The responsibility is the same.

And the bills still show up on Friday.

Different trailer.

Different problems.

Same driver trying to make a living.

the pto switch on the #7130 tractor tonight in the shop. My local deere guy was kind enough to inform me that this smaller stuyle switch is better and would still plug right in to the harness under the console 👍🏻🤗

the pump on my rinse tank to a 5 gpm model and soon I will replace the hose with a larger diameter pump so I can get really good pressure to rinse/wash out my sprayer 😊🙃🤗

Can’t believe it, but amazon sells colored hydraulic outlet plugs and hose end covers for cheaper than the local amish hydraulic shop…. Plus the pack comes with 4 or 5 colors so I can keep the hoses organized to the proper outlet on the tractor 👍🏻🤩

Gonna find out how long they last 🙃

Saw the lawn grew 4” overnight since the last rain…decided to touch up the blades on ye olde lawnmower…. Think this is the first time I ever took the blades off to truly sharpen it….ever 😆🤣. I vice-gripped them to the strap rail on a trailer and touched them up with the grinder and then slapped them back on 😁
