    It turned into a really ugly bstrd

    And today was not super productive

    Did 297 miles in the first 8 hrs and 5 minutes

    Did the last 107 in just over 2 hours

    And like @superhauler - I get to buy a windshield for this pig- my first ever casualty

    I think it was a bird and I would need a ton of fenders.

    Was fine when I left the poe in Cortez and had an 18” diameter hole in the center of the glass when I got to the poe at Monticello.

    Can’t undo it now

    Because the windshield on the machine is totally shattered and I am responsible for the machine while it is on my trailer.

    Funny you should ask....

    It was supposed to weigh 80k - it actually weighs near 93k. And yes it is blocked up on my beam over 16”- makes for a nice high center of gravity

    Is the wood the only thing supporting the machine?
