    I backed the shoes off after I found the crack so it wouldn’t break apart. Tried to fix it Friday, and no one in town had the drum. I’ll see what I can do tomorrow with it.

    Steel bars - it's odd, because I never noticed any flapping, but they wore holes right through my moving blanket and the tarp in 2 places. Now, as to why I had to tarp rusty, mud splattered steel bars that were covered in dust, I have no clue, but the receiver was just as crazy as the broker - didn't want me untarping them until I was inside either - since they CAN'T get wet..

    I've always found that it has a lot to do with how you carry yourself. I'm not a little dude either but I've seen big and small have trouble. The biggest mistake I see people make is walking timidly. I was always taught walk with your head high and always look like your paying attention. Growing up where I have you always look people in the eye and I always give a head nod or a howdy when someone looks back. It's worked so far.

    Once I quoted a broker ~$3500 to move a Morooka. Got the load but they came back and said it needed to be tarped can they add $150. I said no, add $3500 because that thing will ruin my tarps and it doesn’t need tarping anyway its a tracked dump truck for Christ’s sake.

    Turns out I didn’t get the load after all

    Plow to deep, you will get a lot of skeletons. You think the dirt is safe for corn?
