    A fellow farmer in my area got all 10,000 gallons free. He just had to pay fee to drain the gen tanks transporting fees to his farm.

    Second experience roading tractor

    I’ve got some back roads that would make you crap your pants if you rode along with me. I will grab some pics in the next few days as I will be doing some roading today and tomorrow. Roading tractors is a way of life for me-probably every other day during farming season, I’m transporting a...

    Second experience roading tractor

    You can see we have little room on back roads. No shoulder and TP’s on the one side. I have my rear tires on the double yellow lines. The pickup doesn’t have any trouble here, but there’s not an excessive amount of room, either. 4 lane highways with a paved shoulder much easier. This...

    Anyone live near a windfarm?

    So what did I say that was wrong woof-woof? I said “they are bringing it back on line”.

    I guess that’s why they’re bringing it back on line again, because it’s a “failure” that’s going to kill everyone. 🤣

    A huge local dairy & milk processor had just replaced their back up gen sets and had a full 10,000 gallon diesel tank. The Gen set installer said the fuel cannot be over a year old and this fuel was. They had to give 10,000 gallons away or void the gen sets warranty.

    The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

    Some field mowing this morning. Monthly customer. Did it while cloudy & morning dew. Then some afternoon baling. Here’s one of my well marked mower destroying granite boulders. A red-headed woodpecker nestled in the grass. The guy didn’t want to fly away. It was one of those...

    I hang with truckers & farmers and have yet to talk to one who was dipped. I’ve been running large trucks over the road for like 30+ years and never been dipped. It can happen, but it’s more of an internet sensation than reality.

    Nah I’ve been DOT’d a half dozen times and they’ve never dipped me. Not saying it never happens, but it’s very rare. The rumor of it and it’s stiff fines go a long way to discouraging using it in over the road trucks. I was talking to a guy a few months ago who said he has been running it for...

    That judge is a moron. Windmills are monuments to failure.

    Second experience roading tractor

    The biggest problems I run into are: 1. People in cars who have NO CLUE how to drive: Sorry to say, but most women do not possess the spatial awareness to cooperatively drive past a wide tractor. They simply STOP, in the middle of the lane, and will give no room, as if the own that part of the...

    Hay Making on a Different Scale
