    They both require lots of work and can be difficult at times!!

    I agree which is why I try to find a way to do it legally with only 4 chains.

    Same thing with our new mini-excavator. Best I've figured out is 3 chains to get the bucket, back blade and 4 points.

    Here is a pic of the first time I loaded it until I realized it weighed > 10k so I couldn't classify it as a light truck and use only 2 chains.

    I think I lived there in 08-09ish for a bit before I moved to Halifax, then Indy in 2010.

    Wasn't a bad town to grow up in. Lots of outdoor stuff to do, camping, skiing, outdoor hockey, swimming, fishing. And a trip to Toronto to go see a major sporting event was only 3.5 hours away.

    Good sized city to have most of the major amenities without the crime / traffic headaches of a big city.

    Macavoy and Ruthless,

    Are your straight trucks running with beds that are fixed, dump, or rollback?

    They would both make great hay hauling trucks, by the way.

    Thank you, MJ!

    And Macavoy, now I like your truck even better! So many barns where I could get a lot closer with a straight truck than with my semi.

    @Ruthless, how are you set up?
     
    MJ1657 Thanks this.

    @Lastkidpicked fixed 24' bed. Setup to mount a forklift or pull a tagalong style trailer.

    Would make a good hay truck: 475 cat, RTLO16713A, 3.70 eaton.... Cept it's a curb sniffer and as @Rugerfan can tell you: gotta have a hood to have a cool hay truck
