    Single axle, dually equipment trailer

    Someone came to one of my auctions some years back and bought a farmall. They had a trailer similar to this and tilted it back and drove the tractor right up on it. When he drove it far enough on it tilted back to the flat position and his friend latched it into place. It looked dangerous...

    Trailer wood deck treatment: Brush on used oil, linseed oil, sealer stain, unicorn tears...?

    Used motor oil use it on the flat racks and the trailer. Do it on a warm sunny day in direct sunlight. If you have to do every few years it only costs you the time to apply it.

    Why so much tongue weight on 22' car hauler trailers?

    Why so much tongue weight on 22' car hauler trailers?

    If you have too much weight behind the axles it can - more than likely will - cause you to lose control swerving all over the road. I had one about 30 years ago with the axles in the middle and it did that to me with a heavy load on. I talked with several of my friends who said there was too...

    Might need a filter change - start with the simple easy stuff first

    Perhaps, a Dumb Question

    Resistors / arresters - also called check valves - definitely a must. One downside to using propane or map gas is that the preheat time for torch cutting is noticeably longer. And though you may not ever need to weld with the torch its good to have options. Whichever you decide go with be safe...

    Land plane for grading lumpy land (not a driveway)

    I have a 7 ft Woods land plane that I used to level mounds of dirt pulled off the edge of the pond (to put a shoulder on the edge instead of a drop off) and some of those mounds were 3 feet high. My tractor is 50 hp and weighs about 4500. It did an excellent job leveling the mounds. And they are...

    You Know You Are Old When

    Not necessarily - some kids that age have been raised with culture and are aware of these older types of music and movies because of the miracle of re-runs

    What to drag behind a disc?

    Definitely mow or brush hog it first. You could disc it then and get decent results. I use a chain harrow on mine after discing. It is like giant chain link 1/2'' material with 2'' points that rough up the ground. Its about 8 foot wide and 12 feet long and mounted to a three point frame so that...
