$30 on FBM

Dumb question. What is this used for? Some kind of drag? Logging applications? I have one I picked up in a scrap bin with I think 3 hooks. I figured at a minimum it would be useful for parts.

I had to buy some new trailer boards after I broke through the deck with a forklift.

That reminded me of when I worked at the airport in the 80's and had a contract to load a C130 every night for some shady freight company. My boss leased a HUGE forklift, something like 30K lift. Way too big. Anyhow, contract ended and boss told me to driver the forklift down to a freight dock and drive it onto a semi trailer. Now I had ZERO experience with trucking at the time, but I looked at that trailer, and said, this is not meant for something of this size. It should be a low trailer meant for heavy equipment, not a high wooden deck trailer. He basically told me to shut up and drive it on. So I did. It crashed through the first set of planks and that was that. Half on the dock, half stuck through the trailer. I shut if off, pulled the key, climbed down and handed the keys to the boss and stood there looking at it with him.

He never did say anything else about it. It had to sit there for a week until they could get a crane large enough to lift it off.

This lift is like 8,500 pounds but still a lot higher point load than any other equipment I have. The tracked skid steer or mini x could probably drive on the trailer without any deck boards.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. A letter in the mail said that my insurance provider is no longer offering home owners insurance in Arkansas. So until I find a new policy, I'm not spending any money I don't absolutely have to.

I can see them pulling out of California or Florida, but Arkansas?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

FWIW State Farm just renewed my CA homeowners insurance. The county tacked on a fire hazard fee to the property a few yrs ago so that had me worrying about the renewal.

As well as leaving America’s most populous state (California), American National has plans to cease offering homeowners' insurance in an additional eight states, including Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Minnesota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Washington. The precise timeline for the company’s exit has not been finalized.

Florida was not named. You see a pattern here? I do.
