Did something dumb today.

[Southside]

Back around '09-'10 I trucked horses coast to coast and ran G's on a couple different goosenecks.  One being an Excess 40'.  I would rotate them every 10,000 miles and they would last just about 100K before the tread was worn off. Pricey, but worth every penny.  Always ran them at max PSI too.

I think it is kinder to a tyre to run it at its max psi. Less deformation in the walls per revolution, and less fatigue over its life.

Sometimes I think you and WV Sawmiller are in competition here!!!  ;D

I'll take that as a compliment.  Lol.

[Magicman]

 
Yup, left the tractor stuck but tomorrow will be another day.
 

[firefighter ontheside]

Oh no!  Hoss down.  No mud like that around here.  Its way too dry.

[WV Sawmiller]

Lynn,

   Looks like a minor inconvenience. Nobody looks to be hurt, no major damage to expensive equipment, not even all that embarrassing compared to many of the things we typically see here. Stay safe. This too shall pass.

Looks like your doing a Southside

Speaking of getting stuck. It's amazing the flotation of a wide track dozer has compared to a standard. Where a standard track would  be instantly stuck a wide track can work just fine in wet ground

Agreed.  But when you get a widetrack dozer stuck youre really stuck.  I built a small pond by accident that way.. Rowing the 6 way blade to back out of it while water filled in from a groundspring i hit.  Wasnt ever gonna dry back up after that.
20k forktruck will also help you find the groundwater.

Keep us posted how you got that bad boy out Mike

If its all the same I will continue to use my divining  rods to locate water it's really less trouble than using heavy equipment.

(Geez I probably  just doomed myself to burying my tractor for that comment.)

I did actually bump one of my blade covers off lowering my mill head this evening because I didn't move a couple cants over far enough on the pallet forks.  It managed to dink the blade and dull it on its a way  down falling off.  I should've looked a little closer before I started... just about a quarter inch too close to pass by.....  :

Hey - I represent that comment!!!   :D

The John Deere has a new battery and after jumping across the mouse chewed wires I have it running, I have the logging wince, plus the F250 has a winch so we will get it out.  Marty, Ben, and Collin will all be here in the morning to plant food plots so there will be plenty of help.  
I subsoiled just before Hurricane Delta which is what caused this.

Well that is one way to cool the oil, just lower the oil pan in some cool water.

[Southside]

That makes sense MM.  Have had the same thing happen after ripping ground.

Lynn:
Wrong piece of equipment for putting a pond in.

Lynn,

   Next time you plant food plots try going to an area you can plant rye instead of rice. :D :D Stay safe.

Creating habitat.  The salamanders need a place to live, too :D.

That was years ago, a 648 skidder did the job.  There is 230ish triaxle loads of fill dirt there now.

I built a shed on my tilt deck bobcat trailer. I planned to pull it off the trailer deck by chaining it to a tree and slowly drive away.
We jacked it up and put some 3"x12" oak dowel rollers under the runners and I pulled it off the trailer. very slowly, so we could place some 1 1/2"x6" x12" paver blocks under the white oak runners.

It all went very smooth and the shed ended up exactly were I wanted it.

 
I was driving my pickup truck.
Now, here comes the dump part.
Once on the ground, the chain was tight from the shed runners to the tree. I hadn't planed on how to disconnect the chain.
I should have put a chain binder between the tree and the shed up tight so I could have loosened up the chain with making the binder longer.
We had to drive around and try and pull the shed closer to the tree to get the chain loose enough to disconnect.
Well, that didn't work. I pulled the chain hooks right out of the runners.
But, I got the chains back and off the tree.

It's all in the details.

I think it is kinder to a tyre to run it at its max psi. Less deformation in the walls per revolution, and less fatigue over its life.

Having all your trailer tires psi the same is just as important. When one tire is low next to a full pressure tire, heat builds up at highway speeds and that's when they will explode.

   John Deere easily pulled it out and then we got all of the seed/fertilizer in the ground and covered.

Now somebody gets to clean up the Hoss. 

[firefighter ontheside]

I hope the Orange said thank you to the green.  Sounds like some Irish Protestant and Catholic story.

[Magicman]

 
Well then the Orange had to help the Green out!!
