Not a good deal folks . . . pallets can be and most are dangerous . . .

In a hurry?!?

C'mon, use your eyes man. Precise lettering and asymmetrical centring/positioning of the font. Quality conveyance material. Mounted on star-pickets. That's not the work of a rogue band of pallets... that's something to lure you into a false sense of security.

I just caught another pallet infiltrating my place. Bought a new garage/shop heater and was so excited to unload and unbox it I didn't realize there was a cute little pallet hiding under it. Even had some fancy standoffs on it. Since it was so small and clean I decided to take it under my care.

^^ That IS a cute one.

Very niche... there is a place for one like that somewhere around your place.

They're cute when they're little.

I rescued the tiller a few days back. No Palletonius Virus detected on it.

But I did notice one had armored itself with an extra set of top slats. No pictures as I've piled firewood on top of it to contain it.

Someone needs to built a machine that inputs pallets and outputs toilet paper.

Not a bad suggestion! Kill the Bturds and make TP out of them.

It's called a paper mill.

Or something that recycles TP! That's the way of the future. Recycling!

I was thinking more about the size to be a tractor attachment.

Put your rotary cutter on, roll over some pallets and voila!!

Just make sure it's actually RECYCLED, not just re-used. While re-use is higher up the chain than recycle*. it's not for everything...

The Golden Rule is:

1. REDUCE
2. REUSE
3. RECYCLE

Don't know if this is the best place to ask this, but couldn't find a better place.

I have noticed over the past few years that the local farm fields get populated with a pair of pallets leaned up against each other to form a inverted V shape. they are always out near the middle of the field, in a line, and about 500 to 700 feet apart.

Now during the Spring and Summer they are nowhere to be seen, and in late Fall they are out there again. As far as I know (not having been out in the middle of these fields) from driving by every day there is nothing out there that needs protection such as a irrigation pipe, so I can not figure out what purpose they serve. No one is out in those fields over the winter to do damage to anything except maybe some one riding their snowmobile if we get measurable snow which is not too common here.

Could someone explain the reason for these? I see them on more than one farm throughout our county.

I think this member should get some sort of prize for "oldest still running thread."

The pallets are there to use next year when two pallets are needed to lean on each other.
