LOL........... Funny you should mention that Naz...... I have spent all day today preparing for tommorrow. We have a large 4 wheel drive tractor 2 hours north that was just delivered. The new guys in the shop didn't tighten the outside dual wheels correctly. One has fallen off and the other 3 have slid on the axle. All 4 have to come off and the hubs replaced. It's in a muddy area with little access. I have been cutting up railroad cross ties all afternoon and loading them and 3/4 drive tools. I have to go try to drive the inside tires up on the railroad ties to get the outside tires off the ground. I cut a bunch of them because the tractor is so heavy, it will just keep shoving them in ground until they hit solid. Tremendous job all because the newbies didn't do it correctly the first time. Supposed to be a high of 33 degrees, 10 mile an hour wind with snow, sleet and rain. I sure dread it.

I will have another guy (26 or so years old). He's really pretty good. I just have to keep an eye on him some because he sometimes gets in too big of a hurry.Holy crap and by your self??????? Wow that's asking a lot of one mans back......View attachment 16168 Wow that's pretty bad the newbies couldn't even get that done right and that's about the easiest deal they have to do.....

I have worked with guys like that. My brother-in-law will throw stuff. I never did. I might cuss a blue streak though.View attachment 16172 every time I did that I wanted to throw that tool as far as I could like it was the tools fault....View attachment 16171
ok how that post split up......
LOL!!!!!!!!!! I see you ain't got no easy job either........
LOL on the operators and drivers!!!! They don't care because they don't have to work on it. It's never their fault either. It just broke. Or, 'it's a piece of crap'. Yeah..... I know where you are coming from Bud......It can be a challenge, operators and drivers can tear stuff up that cant be broken ............. I dont envy you working on ag equipment though, thats not easy work
Oh that's good you have a helper that's too much for one man to do......Those tires and wheels have to be super heavy...I will have another guy (26 or so years old). He's really pretty good. I just have to keep an eye on him some because he sometimes gets in too big of a hurry.

Dayum i'll stick to Trucken well if I could.....tore my back up in 84 and finished it in 87...Yep, we dig a lot of solid rock out here and it leaves jagged edges on buckets and stuff, you can just be walking by one of them and slice your arm or leg wide open.
Yeah........ pretty easy to let one get away from you.Oh that's good you have a helper that's too much for one man to do......Those tires and wheels have to be super heavy...

Yuppers cause too much of it sometimes is not just driving.......I was unloading 30K a day by hand for some years that will do it,the jumping off docks and the trailer......theres a bunch od stuff that's no good on the back....Back in the 70's the trucks were not like todays....Lots of truckers end up with back misery, not sure why but I have known several
That's why I have just in the last couple years started to buy a few lottery tickets...... LOL.crazy crazy!!! You have a tough job.........
I done a little bit of trucking years ago. Just enough to know it wasn't for me. I couldn't stand the pressure of the traffic and getting into tight places. I had my (chauffers license as they called it back then) since I was 18..... now called CDL's...... I turned mine in 5 years ago. Told 'em I didn't want 'em anymore. They looked at me like I was crazy. I really don't.Yuppers cause too much of it sometimes is not just driving.......I was unloading 30K a day by hand for some years that will do it,the jumping off docks and the trailer......theres a bunch od stuff that's no good on the back....Back in the 70's the trucks were not like todays....

The traffic does drive you nuts the only way it kept me sane I was usually on OT on the way back to the yard.....The tight spots I liked that they would tell me you can't put that there oh yeah watch me..... I had a buddy that could back up the rear trailer to a dock with out breaking up a set of doubles now that's not easy to do all those pivot points......I loved trucken just one of them deals it in your blood as they say....I done a little bit of trucking years ago.

Yup I think your right on there......I never got an accurate story on that one .............. that operator was looking for a job the next day, the hydraulic cylinder was the only thing holding the boom on and it was bent, I have no idea how he did it, me thinks he may have done something real dumb
