    Amazing how lazy people are to crank the handle for 90 seconds. Its good exercise in a job mostly made up of not much physical exercise. Not all trucks are the same height. But there is never an excuse for laziness in my opinion.

    Were not saying to be lazy, or not to lower it, and you should know the height of your tractor. But we see other drivers frequently lower the gear, pads hit the ground, then they crank it past holding the weight 3 or 4 more times, so there needs to be a little judgement on the part of the driver for sure, one thing here there so no absolute. even if my way works for me it may not work for you. I run into this even with my own son whom I team with from time to time.
