    There'll be plenty, with every one of them holding a cell phone videoing it.

    Same here @Oxbow. I'd have them torn clean off coming out of a field loaded.

    It pulls hooper and cans.


    I couldn't run them either. Only put two sets on. One a tractor with detatcable wrecker unit single hump. No problems. Second, double humps just like those for a steel hauler. He had them ruined in a month. I ask why he had to unhook so much? Never got a answer.

    Bigger concern would be the heat they hold in a tire. Second is having to change a tire on the side of the road. Fenders have to come off.

    Third would be how the hell do you throw iron on with those. I realize that most folks never have to worry about that, but I do.

    Thank you everyone for the congratulations, words of encouragement and support these past few weeks.

    I received an email from the new employer acknowledging my acceptance earlier today. I have sent off my notice of resignation (via email, but I really wanted to do it in person on Monday but no dice).

    My last day at my old company is May 1, 2019 and I will be starting at the new place May 7, 2019.

    You know it's a positive sign you've made the right choice when they tell you that orientation will be at the terminal two hours from Winnipeg, and they are going to pay for gas to and from, AND provide free breakfast, lunch and coffee on each day.

    As far as I can tell, I'm going to be jumping straight into NH3 after completing training and then once that season is over, will be returning to the Winnipeg terminal for fuel training right away (I did NOT expect this so soon). After that it's a mix of everything including winter roads until April 2020 and then the sky is the limit.

    I am PUMPED to say the least!

    Forgive my ignorance; what is NH3, fertilizer?

    Aside from the practical application, I admit that I am an old cogger, and the classic look of your truck is preferable to me!

    I do however admire the pride of ownership.
