Video would have been better. Watching guys each side in the mirrors- landing gear cleared by like 3/8" on the back 5th slid all the way back "WHOA! WHOA! BACK UP! TURN....NO STRAIGHTEN UP!".
Then Justin asked if I'd grab the converter dolly and shove it under. Me backing that up was a riot. He was going to give me sheet but figured I'd jump out and say "oh yeah show me how it's done Billy Bigrig". He waited till after and I'd cooled down.

You're really the only one on here that also works in ag in this general area.
Just kinda disappointing to see these big companies buying up the smaller ones.CAXPT, exhausted379, Feedman and 7 others Thank this. -
They never chime in when you are at your peak of frustration. God does that to save the fools.....CAXPT, exhausted379, High Stepper and 7 others Thank this.

Just a hint:
Carry a couple 3/8 chains and binders.
Cross chaining a converter can tame it a whole bunch if it is just in a gravel lot.
Those chains can come in handy in so many ways.CAXPT, Feedman, Big Road Skateboard and 5 others Thank this. -

Not that I have any advice to add in that thread, or most threads on here in general, but I've just given up trying to help.
I can't tell ya how many times I heard it in the shop. Someone would describe an issue they're having, I might mention some possible faults that would cause it, and it was always "No, it can't be that, we've already checked all that", or so and so just checked it.
"Well frankly buddy, If I didn't check it myself, IDGAF what somebody else may or may not have checked"
Pretty much just a waste of time trying on here. A guy spends some of what little time he has in a day to help someone out, and they don't listen.Last edited: Sep 20, 2025
