    I've seen some of the process done with them once or twice.

    The only time I took an active part and it was when I was sitting there operating the machine so that the mechanic could do all of the things he needed to do. There were only the two of us. And it was in the field. So I didn't get all that great of a view staring out through the windshield.


    But I suppose the one advantage is that it is possible to just have it sitting up on a trailer and Lift it straight off with no middleman. With possibly a little less hassle. I know the mechanics seem to enjoy it more.

    Yes, that’s the point. You can set it straight on a trailer or lift it right off.

    Everyone I work with hates using the big tarps. I have always thought big tarps suck, but multiple smaller tarps are more work.

    I like smaller tarps when working alone for obvious reasons. But there were two sheet rock tarps sitting within view that I would’ve rather used. They would’ve provided better coverage and less bungees. That long one on the back side is actually an old tarp from a covered wagon :p

    A buddy of mine sent me this. I don’t have Fakebook, but that’s impressive talent.

    Panic stop and under secured? Hate to see that happen, at least it doesn't look like anybody was hurt

    it is an old picture I believe

    story I heard was moving the machine while parked and the outrigger broke. It is Rinadaeu out of Jax - not known for high quality anything
