We run a heavy chain back to the heavy iron the drawbar runs through. I like pulling on them that way better than hooking to the front of them.

Yeah. Boy that was dumb. It’s dry as a bone here right now. So of course I thought it’d be a great idea to feel my way over there. I was honestly shocked. That isn’t a piece of equipment you get stuck pulling. Pulls pretty easy really. Fine example of being where you have no business being in the first place.

got out pretty easy. I stopped once I knew it was over. I see people stuck sometimes that just won’t give up. Really didn’t expect that though today.

That’s my pops there but I wouldn’t have done much better. He didn’t dig it in so far the next two times getting stuck in that field haha. It’s some kind of geological oddity, a hill field that doesn’t drain and this was after a week.

I’ve seen similar things. It is odd when you get stuck on a hill. I takes a certain kind of odd year but we have 2 farms like that.

Question for you farmers…any of you have a hydraulic hose crimper for making your own hoses?

My brother has one & a friend of his has a mobile repair truck for just hydraulic hoses.

You know. I think I’m pretty good at driving tractors. But I’ve seen you boys up in them hills. Pretty sure I’d *s-word myself up there. Even if I brought my own rig I was comfortable in

 

[jakethesnake]

Totally different subject. Sure is a good thing I planted those bottoms yesterday. Rained 4 inches today. Lol. Guess when it dries out I’ll go try them again because all of that is lost. Rather lose them now then too late to replant.

I kinda feel like that’s the way it needs to be. If you invest in the tools to fix hoses you need everything. Keeping it all in a truck makes sense. I totally get that. Just the rolls of hoses take up a lot of space

I have rain gutters. They were just overflowing

The mobile repair was $50 call out fee plus parts. I am sure it is more than that now. Usually they showed up within an hour or two of calling, which was what it would take to go to town & get a new one/get the old one spliced.
My brother just keeps the common sizes, once in a while he will call the service truck if he doesn’t have what he needs
