Jon if you have some left over, i would like to purchase some from you
Tonight I made my neighbor extra happy. when the developer put in the subdivision he gifted 6 ft of property to all the farmers who had already built up existing barriers and fences, gave them more land. The farmer next to me had olive trees that lined what used to be his land. The developer pushed truck loads of dirt onto his new land with no way for him to move it really, no good way to maintain the land. Most people put up fences like mine. He has been trying a little at a time to use his small case tractor with a bucket good for lifting about hay and grass clippings, it’s going slow. Tonight I had access to our Deere 333c and figured I would finish off the job for the guy. Took me an hour to clear the areas level and remove the dirt them pushed to far into the lot. Learned that my kids are terrible st listening to mom when dad is in equipment, my truck is terrible for towing such things at that weight! I like driving equipment but no one wants to let me leave my current position to be a “ dumb equipment driver” Loaded into our dump trailer. Yes way over the limit of 8k, way out of balance but. Like the UPS. If it fit it shipsHad to play the front and back game to get the rear Jack’s off the ground than back up the skid to lift my truck off of the bump stops. Yes I need air bags!!! Yes I need to buy a 3500 or a F-350 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Good on you Dave. Will that save the olive tree by not covering up the roots? Do those trees produce?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I thought the truck was close to being maxed out.I too felt like I needed to score a used 1 ton dually or even a 4500-5500 series truck to carry that much weight. So I'm with yaI will recommend you install those torque lift devices to get more spring earlier. Using them and the bags with 90 psi in them easily supports the tongue weight and prevents the pitching when you hit bumps going down the highway.
Mike has a garage man and rainbows on the wall. hmmmmm
Um JR has taken over The photo for proof. Search it and see Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
All right, yes, hoity toity suburbs supply garage men, usually same name that is on the mortgage though!Spent the late morning and early afternoon touring the Northside of Chicago - Wrigley Field and had a few beverages at Murphy’s Bleacher Bums outside center field, with Nate. It was great to meet up with another Real Man moderator to discuss banning and sanctions of Hillary lovers and other knuckle heads! Tour of Wrigley Field was enjoyable, even for two guys not much into baseball!Photographic proof for all members named Dave:
