    Went in and took a look at the new (to us) trailer again. 1988 Murray in excellent shape. The 84 Cozad 4 rail is being cleaned up to sell. Anyone? Ron?

    More to keep the load away from the passing trucks.
    Went up the hill at about 20ish mph, down at 10-12mph.
    Most of them are terrified and are trying to squeeze their right side tires onto the "left track" and darn near hitting the load.
    Idjits! If you ain't comfortable passing, don't!
    Some people just don't understand that "it's ok to take longer and/or be late during inclimate weather". Being a guest star on Highway Through Hell or upside-down in the ditch makes you even later.

    The second load in the above photos is @1805's.
    Truth be told, we both went up n over barefoot. There was no need to chain-up, but we would have if we needed to...and been gone long before Jamie showed up.
    And yes, if we were chained-up, a prudent operator that chains-up enough to make it will run in the snow to save any unnecessary wear on them expensive traction aids...but we both know that @Oxbow knows that and is just pointing it out for those that don't.

    That would be an awesome little local work wagon...
    Why does everything come up at the same time?
    I just got a new shop, we got a new deal that pretty much justifies a new 3-2 back end for my wagon to increase payload capacity, now another piece of real estate I'm interested in is soon coming available, and now this wagon...
    Why does every good business thing happen at the same time, when money is in finite supply? I don't wanna have to choose, unless it's "I choose them all"
