I live on a street with lots of crazy drivers, but the only one that ever hit my mailbox was my mail carrier....twice on the same day.

I agree 100% with all you say, but, if I read his post correctly, it sounds like a guy who has been flying airliners for his entire career told his Son that they won't need airline pilots in 10 years. Maybe I misunderstood what he said, but that's what it looks like and I would put a lot of...

One trick I've learned for lynch pins that are holding something like a hitch pin (like on a sprayer, fertilizer spreader, garden cart, etc.) is to install the pin from the bottom with the lynch pin on the top (upside down). This keeps the lynch pin away from the grass and sticks passing below...

Are you saying that airliners will be flown autonomously (i.e., NO pilots, or only one pilot on board) in the future? If so, what would be your prediction on how soon that might happen? Even if theoretically possible, how likely do you believe it is that such a situation will be accepted by...

I grew up too. Used to like RC and Vess better than Coke or Pepsi. :)

I've always preferred Pepsi to Coke. Especially the diet variety.

In the interest of never-ending product improvement, I even made up a slide-on front quick-hitch mirror. It works, but not worth the effort to install/remove.

Probably a missile disguised as an airflow hopper car. :cool:

I was thinking the glass looked kind of bullet-proof...

I see what you did there, you rascal.

If everyone thought it was a great idea, it wouldn't have taken 20 years to get it into the code.

It wouldn't help on yours, but on the more open style like mine, I find it's helpful to raise the loader up, then tilt the hitch forward. That way, I can look through the framing and see the hitch ball to line up. Once under the hitch, just raise the loader and curl back.

I wonder what it is?

Outstanding work! Can't wait to see it in action.

I like your design!
