Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

hope your right about grain moving locally in march,wheathauler. Had to hook the john deere to my 'ol pete this morning,dang steer tires were sunk 4 inches,couldn't budge the sucker without a little tug from the jdeere,been sittin' for 4 days ,had me a dandy offer on a load of ddg though,deadhead 74,back 74 miles loaded,$6/ton, last time a loaded at that place i had to walk and stomp down the tarp to get 22.5 tons of the fluffy stuff on,and broker said he thought he might could ''sqeeze'' out another $20 cause i probably would have to wait 3 or 4 hours to get loaded,i told him, ''no thanks,i don't want you to sqeeze them any,you might break your fingers since your ''sqeezing'' me so hard,i'll just pass on that load.''

I guess you had a good time with the grandkids though,how old are they?

Has anybody talked to Bullhaulerswife to see if they got the block repaired,it sounded like a bad deal for 'em,hope everything worked out ok

 

Was that not your hubby posting in the 18 wheeler garage section on here last week about a cracked block? Maybe it was someone else,hope so

 

THATS GREAT TO HEAR,bullhaulerswife. There was someone in garage section with the name''bullhauler'' and i thought for sure it was probably your hubby,they had a cracked block on a 3406E cat motor, i thought i was talking to your hubby,i bet that guy thought i was ''nuts'',i was refering to you a couple of times when i was trying to help in the PM's,i feel like a fool now,now ya'll know why i say i am ''simple'' minded,that poor guy is probably STILL scratching his head,and his poor wife is too,geeeeesh,i'm an idiot

 

5 under 8 years old, sounds like they are wearing you out,ain't nothing like the little squirts,though, and i'm sure you are enjoying having them around.


Senile is pretty kind,but yep,that poor guy probably thinks i am something else

 

84 is going to be shorter than his tractor, My is truck 12'3". I have had more trouble out of width than height at the places I have loaded/un-loaded.

Just for grins I had Cornhusker do a quote on a new trailer. I asked about hieght VS width. According to them the 102x78 is heavier than a 96x84. 6inches of beams VS 6" of aluminum skins and will have more capacity. Calculating just the walls gives you-----(102x78x42=2032cuFt) (96x84x42= 2352cuFt) It was $279.00 for each 6" height increase.
