Agreeing with Harvery, how wet the soil, how freguent your trips are over the same ground show a difference in my experience.

EW, I tried to give you credit on that. It did work well. It even makes sense. Now that you remind me a person from Ken-tuck told you about it, makes me feel better. Wait, was the reason he went in circles was to grade around the hills or mountains?

Murf, in case I did not make it plain, I understand the wasted time and wear of backing up.

Murf, you hit something there I bet many are not aware of. Probably most realize they have seen wider or heavier belts but do not realize there are standards on that. It is my guess most only think of the length of the belt when looking to replace.

Art, Murf, is it not possible one of those valves could also be rusted stuck?

SG, have to agree with you on the log trucks in this part of the world. Higher percentage in serious accidents than any other truck last report. Of course different companies have different standards at Harvey has pointed out. Rare to set DOT with log trucks being inspected here.

At same time sure do not understand the truss trucks hauling loads extending over their right side by 6 feet or more feet. Amazing...builder told me they are legal...then laws on agriculture loads are also different I have been told, never heard of a truck load of crop being weighed (other that to sell the grain). Then on top of that it seems our state has very poor laws on lights on trailers (not the semi type, rahter the homeowner version) as so many run around at night with no lights.

EW, the proper way to answer is "yes surr" "no surr". Yous sore is right surr. Or you might be better to hold your hat in hand and just nod politely. As to deciding which laws to enforce, is that not done by all who are charged to enforce laws at all levels, everywhere?

The most dangerous thing I see as to truckers here is the person who has no idea as they pull out in front of one, switches lanes in front of one to stop and such, the weight of that rig and the danger they are placing all in.

Be sure the spacer and PTO will miss each other. If not be sure you remove the spacer when using a PTO shaft.

Buying BitDefender for second computer. Notice there is a second BitDefender for about twice the price. (Did not see it when I bought first time.) It has anti spam software in it. My IP just added Barracuda and it really has helped on the spam issue.

Harvey, was looking at your info and wonder with the amount of land why you wanted this trailer. Then saw the trailers of firewood...will it be big enough? You must employee a dozen beavers. :)

I know Castrol did rate their synthetic for both gas and diesel. I lost faith in Castrol when they changed their synthetic to the current without changing the label. "IF" memory is correct their synthetic is not what the other guys believe should be allowed to be labelled as synthetic.

Do believe TP is where I first picked up on that. Did read much more on the lawsuits and such over the word synthetic as to motor oil.

For my two cents, it would be fine with me to have neither. Especially with the designs (forgot what they are called) feature you added about a month ago.

Cutter,
You would do well to tell your doctor what you are doing. If you are controlling it with diet and exercise and not needing the medicine the need for that medication should be removed from your medical history. If you were to apply for such as health or life insurance they would pick up you are suppose to take this medication and either rate your risk as if you do or worse rate it as someone who needs treatment and ignores it.

Often what the doctor ordered is not the best option.

reason, you know this but if you jack up the rear to change tires from one side to the other, be sure you use two sets of jacks and blocks. If not you could get in big trouble with the pivoting front axle. Been there, done that. Thank the Lord it only resulted in small dent in fender.

ncrunch,
Just wondering here. I was looking at electric space heaters yesterday. They have them that look like radiators that are OIL filled. Have no ide about the type of oil used or if there is an oil that would be suitable or legal for your system. But, it would seem to solve the need to replace it, dogs drinking it, rusting the system or ph changing. But if worried about it being drunk, use Mineral Oil. ;-) That will straighten them out.

hardwood, realize you asked about saw dust but the newspaper will work if you put it down several layers thick. There is a lot of black plastic used in my part of the world for garden mulch. I like the solid one better than the woven for flower beds. It will absord the heat and kill weed seeds. Be sure to have drain holes in it. The best way I found was before unfolding use a pitch fork. You don't need a lot, while still folded ever foot of so will give you plenty. It also holds the moisture great. You do have to use something to hold it down. Something true in all mulches I guess, some animals like living under or in them. Man, makes me want to get the garden ready!

Frank, sometimes when my antivirus software updates, it renews that problem for me. Right now had to cut it off to get TP to operate. It is not just TP this happens with for me so I know it is something about the antivirus software itself. The next update normally fixes it.
