    Gotcha. I don't know about 30 but I'd like 6-8 of them. I've got a few 5/16" but I think the cast iron ones are G80 and good for 3/8".

    Makes a little more sense but that's not hobby farming equipment you posted.

    Feels like it in comparison to the older equipment I see at the farms around home. Lot of the local farmers are still using equipment bought by their grand daddies. THAT stuff was built far more solidly tham today's stuff.

    Thanks six. I just never gave up. Honestly if it wasn't for all of the guys on here I'd have been lost half the time.

    I read a little bit about your plight a while back; don't remember the details, nor where I found it. You are an inspiration to many. And when a guy like Six has your back, you're doing something right. Kudos, man. I don't haul what you guys do (anymore...) but having done it and failed mentally at it, in the past.... much respect. Overcoming adversity makes you or breaks you. You're a success story!

    Pulled a lot of different products from Deere. Used the hooks on combine heads, all sorts of pull equipment like seeders and spray rigs and the likes. Some products had slots in them for the hooks, others it was a shipping frame that had them.

    I think the best way to learn flatbed was with 100% load board freight. You end up with crazy stuff like a business moving and you have a bunch of random crap thrown on your deck. I'll be back in flatbed one day but it won't be tarping sticks and bricks. I like what @johndeere4020 is doing. Just not many of those jobs near me.
