    I never pulled a closed tandem before. Definitely backs different. Had me looking like an amateur the first time lol


    So here's one for the peanut gallery:
    I specced and ordered 2 new stepdecks; today the salesman called me and says the manufacturer won't add anymore lights across the back ( my request was "as many 4" LEDs as will fit across the back" than their stock-
    I'm not impressed with that answer. Salesman says he'll give me as many extra lights as I want n I can cut them in.
    I don't like speccing and ordering something new only to have my choices chiseled.
    Good friend said tell them to F.O. And cancel the order. Already had me waiting almost 2 months, n are talking mid December delivery..
    Bet I could cancel it and get 1 Mac how I want it.. Keep one of my current steps..

    Idk. Just annoyed at that ####. I didn't order some crazy extras.

    Transcraft- I have pulled their flats in the past and wasn't impressed. Couple guys I know have newer ones n are pleased. Dealer nearby where I ordered it carries Transcraft and Mac. I don't have the confidence to pay cash for 2 high spec Mac steps. Going into winter. Combos I can without stressing so I chose the combos.

    I'm with you on not tarping hay. I have yet to find a load of hay that I thought paid decent, it's usually a last resort, get me to a better area kind of load.

    I have an East aluminum 48. Its a great trailer. I added a lift axle to the front, now it turns like a battle ship. Lol

    i never got to buy a MAC but almost did. Real nice trailers. Only thing bad i ever hear about a MAC..."you cant break a mac, but the price of a mac can break you. Lol.

    I totally understand what your saying about going into winter and buying stuff. Hell who knows whats gonna happen after nov. 8th, come on.

    Exactly.

    The load I just posted was a last resort,.. sit and wait,.. or GTFO and be somewhere I want to be at.

    Before that load,.. its been probably 1.5 yrs since my last load of hay.

    You got that right. I called on a couple of trucks I am interested in,.. my wife made that same comment. I thought,.. jeez,. are we really that close to winter? Seems this summer just flew by. I'll wait till next spring before I do any major spending.

    And I know we are not supposed to talk politics here,.. but I just cant believe this election. I have never felt so uneasy about our candidates. Neither will be good for America.
