Looks good now [emoji106]

The problem was that they had the arm on the bottom and the cylinder pulling in the heavy load direction. Also the angle of the cylinder tore the mount off the floor if the guy pushed instead of pulling to get the pin out…or it busted the cyl in half.
Now the geometry is reversed. Cyl has more force pushing in the load direction, and less force in the retract direction. Angle is also safer. Can’t hurt itself if the operator goes the wrong way. We were gonna rev it up and slam it up and down to test but the hoses to the tractor look pretty bad.

It got so dry here that I've had to move my momma cows to a feedlot to keep them from killing the pastures.

They are dumping beans on the ground here…



The site manager & regional manager ( 4 site manager ) got told by the higher ups that this is what they were going to do. They have a large building with 500k storage plus 2 smaller flats but the educated idiots want to put corn in them…

We put corn on the ground here. Seems to work out pretty good. They tarp it then put fans inside to give it airflow

Around here I have only ever seen them do corn in a pile like that....not beans

They are doing the same thing in my neck of the wods

Yes, they are putting soybeans on a concrete pad, with vented side walls & tubes with fans. They will tarp it when rain is imminent or when full.

The pictured ground pile area has had corn dumped on it for over 20 years. Any rain that hits that concrete will immediately start swelling & rotting the beans.

The site & regional managers have taken a wrath of chit about how stupid this is but the make it very clear it wasn’t their decision.

There are a lot of ground piles of corn around, I have never seen beans piled on the ground before.

That’s pretty ugly, the ponds are definitely low here, the last few years ( 3-5) there have been several that have been cleaned out, the increased capacity is all that is keeping them going. I have a friend that built a 3 acre structure last fall & it’s about 2’ shy of being full but that last 2’ is going to require a lot of water.

Wow. That’s dry man. We had 4 inches of rain here when that hurricane slid past. It didn’t even leave mud puddles. I guess the ground had gotten so dry it kinda sponged it right up.

Sheep got some fresh green browse out in the woods today. They were super happy about that. Breeding season is just around the corner.
