    thinking you might need one of these, eliminates all that pesky manual labor, either that or hire some cheap labor, so all you have to do is pull the lever on the splitter.



    I will say I have been on the wrong end of the cheap labor.

    You know; that's what Ray Charles always said, thinking the world was flat...
    He would flash his fingers across and chant: Watch that Edge!!

    ok then.
    I just put a reel and 50 ft airline and mounted it to my cover for tire chains, added an adapter and an airline about 6ft with a gland hand hookup, and you know how much easier it’d have been just laying the truck over some vs climbing under it?:p

    Plus, when I went to scooting back out from under while laying in the rocks, and someone standing there so my feet hit them, and they wouldn’t move, so trying to lay flat of your back by diesel tank and airtank, I would not have had to raise up, and hit my head on a bolt, and then yell to tell the stupid sob to move so I could get out from under the truck.

    “I was just wondering what you were doing..” dude
    Me “It doesn’t matter what I’m doing, your in the way, I noticed you’re not helping, but hindering, so if you’re going to just watch, go pull up a chair, bet get back outta the way..”

    Anyway, I stood the reel up, turned the truck and trailer almost to a 90, looked, didn’t hit, then backed back and it’s there, it’s now mounted.
    Now I can run that 50 ft hose with shaker box to unload and not have to keep rolling that long hose up.
    Just that jumper with glad hand hookup.

    I got hot out there, it 92, feels like 110, had to run to town twice, once for a 1/4 all thread and once for a gladhand hookup, I used my extra, then thought, what if I need it, so I went and got another,
    I’ll go out there tomorrow and get a picture

    Gees Cattleman. The thread is letting you off easy if their only asking for beer. I would have asked for some of that fine cooking you do with the rim smoker. Then again my legs wouldnt let me walk that far. So your safe from me and my appetite. Back to my slice of pizza and powerade.

    I'd never have thrown that one if (a) you'd been injured, and (b) I didn't think you'd be able to laugh about it.

    I'm sitting on an on ramp shoulder south of Sioux Falls, got a very nasty storm in the area that was pushing my 80k like I was empty. Weather radar says Tornado activity in the area.
