    If you like good craft beers, Manitoba and
    Western Onterrible are the places to go.

    @Gliding ProStar I ended up drilling about 3/4 of the hucks off holding the clutch assembly to the firewall. Worked awesome. The four I couldn't get at I ended up just taking a 5" angle grinder to lol.

    You run a dock high skate right.? More than likely you won't be using skinny ramps, but a dock right. Jump in that bobcat & get it out of the way. You got this.!

    I'm no equipment operator by any means, but I can run just about any piece of equipment on & off my wagon. Actually much prefer to do it myself. Especially tracked machines as no one but me seems to care much about my trailer deck.. Familiarize yourself with any rolling/tracked equipment you may haul. Most shippers will give you a quick lesson if need be. Lots of times, the battery kill switch, or something to get the machine moving is in a weird spot. That lesson will help alot for situations just like this..

    Lastly, call the reciever & ask. Tell them you situation, & how they can get their product early, if they are willing to help you out. If it's just moving a skidsteer or mini ex down a loading dock, & back on the wagon, they may just say "come on!!"

    That was my thought.
    If you ever load at a port, you will more than likely be required to load the machines yourself. Bobcats are easy, when compared to the bigger pieces, they sit low to the deck and you can load and unload easily without ever needing a spotter.

    Glamour shot of boys new rig. Its very hard to get a kubota with such good tin at 50 yrs old.

    0509201746-1.jpg


    Gave a grand for it and have to re-ring it probably. very cheap price for a great machine, but terrible timing, it was my last check. Had to weigh being responsible vs making memories. But 20 yrs from now i wont be showing my grandkids a framed picture of their dad riding a paid off water bill around the yard. And he's growing up too fast to let the days slip by.

    Its mothers day btw gang. Dont forget to call mom.
