    You got that right. I bought one. Against my better judgment cuz I always rail against pete for being expensive crap. Plus that mx. Great while working. Real bad after a while. Mi e gets 4 mpg on good days. Sometimes 1.5 mpg. No one knows why. Used to get 8.0 to 10.5. Hv ac controls don't work. Apu don't work. Bunk ac died. Sensors at 8 or 900 each go out . Fuel pumps , coolant tanks, wiper motors. Wiper delay control, wiper fluid tank ........ it just goes on almost every week.
    I would not give you 100 bucks for a brand new pete if I had to keep it and drive it.

    Hope everyone has a good 3 day weekend, haven’t posted a pic in a while, and for reference @motocross25 based on earlier conversations, here’s 24 tons of shell, I haul the heck out of it down here. And just for the heck of it I’ll throw in some cliche dump bucket saying “gotta get it up to get it off”…..did I just go there, yes I did!!! Adios amigos. 337F0A1C-1FC2-4570-8369-4AB04FB696BB.jpeg

    I got to play in the landfill today. And lemme tell you, it is WAAAYYY less stressful having them dump a trailer, than me trying to do it. Have a good 4th of July weekend! Let’s try to keep all our fingers intact.. @Arctic_fox I’m lookin at you.

    Pictures don’t really do this place justice, but what a difficult spot to get in to, blindside in the dark with little to no room, again the picture looks like plenty of room, it’s what you don’t see surrounding it :). Mushroom soil out to the west coast of Florida, 100 degree temps could make this interesting, sticky sticky. How’s everyone else doing? 7F78561B-E17D-4E85-854C-833CA8E49051.jpeg

    Good here enjoying the wonderful hot weather, which I’m sure you can sympathize with. Still doin my landfill gig and still loving it. No traffic, no receivers and no janky van freight. Got my first installment of my sign on bonus today as well. Cha-Ching!! How did your mushroom soil come out?

    It came out as expected, all at once, and left just enough on the floor that required sweeping. 100 degree temps and sweeping don't agree with me, but all in all better than I had hoped for. Glad to have you back in the dump world, have a good weekend.

    It’s sooo good to be back. I’m back to waking up in the morning and not wanting to immediately stick my head in the oven. You have a good weekend too, we’ll compare notes next week.

    27 tons of fertilizer, thru the grain gate, loading in to individual super sacks……not my idea of a good time, but at least the old dog looks decent! 88DD7379-639A-4F6C-B52F-DF604A8201F0.jpeg

    She sure does.

    And dumping through the grain door into super sacks must be the end dump equivalent of drumming off.

    How big is a super sack anyway?
