Quite an impressive operation!! It bears out once again the old saying that, "it takes money to make money". I can't imagine how much they have tied up in equipment?? I bet the equipment dealers they buy their equipment from treat them like royalty lol.

I swanny...that one tractor showed it was averaging about 35 gallons/hour. Can you imagine this multiplied by around 30-40+ machines? And all the Peterbilts...he would need his own refinery. Wow.....I am in awe. I saw one account to where he was farming right at 100,000 acres...or +/-150 square miles.

at that rate, you skip middle man. and have phone numbers to tech crews and top sales folks of various manufactures. and it would not be slight of hand but just a necessity.
