Tell me about it. Have had a guy stretching to pay me for 2 trucks for 3 weeks now. Supposed to pay Friday. Heck he even has both trucks and still can't pay (signed contract)

Apparently his dad is going to get it today, it was actually on another property...whatever...if I get it cool if not uncool

Would of been nice to know before I unloaded trailer at O'dark 30 this morning in 36* weather ullinghair:

:thumbdown:

We got a call about 3 pm yesterday while doing Mothers day stuff, and no one had heard from his father since he left at 6 am...so he was heading out to find him, I said "okay" and we headed back home pulling an empty trailer

Monday:

I just got a text and apparently the bush hog is on the back of his fathers tractor and it is stuck somewhere on Roan mnt, and wants to know if we could help him get it out...and no cell service up there (I know that is true)

Waiting on pictures...


This may end up being the longest I just bought something and have never seen it Thread :laughing:


I will update...


ETA

Okay appears to be a Ford 3500 ~ 5000 lbs and it's buried pretty good so probably close to 7500 lbs, so a 9000 lb winch, snatch block some chains and a couple blankets to throw over lines and a tree strap to anchor my truck from the rear to a tree...should be fun

how much will a 6 foot bush hog weigh? 600 lbs?

 

[k0ua]

600 minimum. more like 700 or more. depending on how heavy duty.

...should be fun

Understatement of the month! Where's the tread about strapping a log to the rear tire... I'll look for it...
