Your towing rigs and trailers

I wonder how long before oiling is banned by the EPA?

If they can ban low temp windshield wiper fluid I guess anything is possible.

We just bought a case of it at work yesterday from the local Napa store.

Have not heard anything about the EPA banning windshield washer fluid.
I bought 80 gallons of -20F WW fluid for tractor tire ballast 2 months ago ($1.50/gal. incl. tax)
Still need to get another 64 gal. for smaller tractor.

Not to mislead... it is a ban from the California Air Resources Board covering most of the State.

Fluid film is really good, and it's lanolin based not petroleum. I've been using Krown lately, seems a notch better than fluid film. Costs $125 I get it done every fall. Not uncommon to see vehicles here less than 5 years old with rust starting on the rocker panels, we drive in salt for almost half a year. My truck is 6 years old not a spot of rust.

I am going to SC tomorrow to help a motorcycle buddy out....I'll be spreading 40+ tons of gravel for him around his spread...I took the backhoe off and put my box blade on...

How many weeks are you saying?

Looks like those logs should be going to the sawmill instead of the wood stove.

I agree... but some people need firewood more than boards. I've seen meny a nice saw log split and burned.

Myself, I don't burn wood, but still cut and split and store any blow-downs I come across. Lots of locust, I cull out the nice fence post sections, the nice straight poles that will be useful in building pole barns, and firewood the rest. I have about 5 full cords sitting here I could sell if the opertunity arises.

 

[aarolar]

Almost impossible to get someone to saw logs around here just not enough ROI to make it worthwhile I looked into it once.

 

[ultrarunner]

Same here... no place within a reasonable distance... most gets hauled to the transfer station where they charge disposal fees...

That is a beautiful setup Terry.

Terry, what's up with the front tires on backwards?

Good catch at spotting that one. Maybee its for better traction when backing out of a pile with a full bucket

I got it 46 tons spread in 7 hrs.....about 3 tons was spread having to carry it one small bucket full at a time...over a long distance.....most of it I just loaded on my small dump truck and tailgated it and then smoothing it out with the tractor

 

[4570Man]

Huh? Two strong men with shovels could do that. I had to haul in 100 loads of fill dirt. I could outpace one truck running 4 miles round trip. ( with a tractor ) That is about 20 tons every 15 minutes and I spent most of the 15 minutes waiting.

exactly, though i don't know how much more traction it really provides
