    I must say you have some strange experiences. I would get rid of that trailer as quickly as you can. Either that or put it in shop until everything is fixed...not sure you could wait that long though.

    Not yet, got 6 more to go, seems like the last few take forever. 2 of them are going to be way late, probably summer, but the other 4 are just dragging things out. :biggrin_25518:We've had extraordinary luck this year, all of them have been born just fine, haven't had to pull very many. Did lose one last week to a navel infection, hated that, but otherwise been a good year for them. Did yours get done? Good luck with the loads you found, that's not bad money.

    I hope you can get some good running soon, seems like the place your with has a knack for always getting you in some oddball situation. Good luck.

    4 more,glad ya'll are having good luck with yours:yes2557:,i pulled a big bull calf this morning and broke his little front leg with the pullers:biggrin_25521:,poor little feller didn't even bawl.I put a splint on it before he got up,so he was straight-legging it around the barn tonight and doing just fine,they are tough little squirts.

    I thought those loads were paying good too,not many of those around,the ole boy that got me the loads is a feller that i helped a couple years back with some loads out of the field and he said he wanted to pay me back,it couldn't have come at a better time,just wish HwyPilot was closer,i have 7 more loads of corn i don't think i can get to and they are paying pretty good too,and from what his posts look like,he is due some good luck,hope it gets better for ya,Hwy.

    R.W.,got a quote on a 41ft Wilson with 72 inch sides,if they like the looks of my old Ti-Brook dump,i might be yanking a new Pacesetter:biggrin_255:

    I was at a truck stop earlier and this drew my interest from a flyer on the wall. I dunno, those trailers look #### tempting.

    You are right, those aren't bad prices for trailers...if they go for that price.

    I saw a couple of trucks on there I wouldnt mind owning. But, its been my experience that Purple Wave is the king of shill bidding. I wouldn't hold my breath that they'll go for reasonable money.

    Heck, Im just gonna wait till they kick all the illegal mexicans out of this country. Should be some real good truck trailer deals when that happens :biggrin_255:
