you got THAT right!!
couldn't just sit and do nothing
so found me a 3500 lb hand winch that will work to replace
the hydraulic one....AND because it sucked picking it up off the ground
got to looking at swivel trailer jacks and then went and looked at it again
and I have a weld on jack....and some 2" drill stem steel pipe...
and turns out the "hitch" is a piece of pipe, run through a bigger pipe welded on
that has a pin through it, so all I need to do is take a piece of my 2", drill a couple holes
and I can put my jack on it AND drill an extra hole past that to drop a pin in it
to move it around.....was too fried yesterday and the evening before to even notice...
and it was too friggin' hot to stand out there in KS and look at it...
I about flipped when I noticed how shitty the hookup is.......
I paid $300 for the auger in an auction....and it cost me that much in fuel
to go get it, BUT got the small short augers cheap- $50 each....with only 30 extra miles
and was having a time finding one cheap.......one will take the corn and transfer it
into my Grinder/mixer from the Grain bins I got....picked up 4 reasonable on auction
so still have to get them set up
and was glad didn't have to buy tires for the auger....they've been going for $1600
and up and needed tires to boot which means doing all that crap out on the road
Basically $2000 plus having to go get the auger and this one was closer than any
others I could get. So can't complain about what have spent...
next big job AFTER getting the hand crank installed
is shortening that 60' down to 40' or so....it's too damn long now
but will be a heavy duty 40' when I get done with it
but can't do a damn thing with it until I can lower it down flat to work on it
so a couple hours of basically office work to finish out my day
and order some supplies I needed anyway.
BUT I am DAMN glad to have that trip over with.
Got my big bucket for the telehandler, got my 4 spear- bale spear,
and my adapter to use 'em came in the other day....have some big bales to stack
get this auger set.....
now hoping to get some big 12" x 12" timbers to mount the bins to
don't feel like pouring concrete and with them bolted to big timbers
can always unbolt and move them if I change things around
Need some Jehovah Witnesses to stop by to "visit" and preach
I tell 'em....if you work, you can talk.....
one day of that and they don't come back
FOR YEARS.......until a new batch of young and dumb comes by...
the hardest part of it
is not laughing my ass off.......keeping a straight face....
and it IS HARD not to laugh....I mean really hard......
