we have a hard time with driver's wearing the vest. Like you said got 1 on no one cares.

 

Morning

 

Front lawn mowed yesterday first time this year

 

Wow how did u make it this long before cutting?

 

The guy is actually pretty lucky he didn't catch up with that truck in my opinion. I don't see him making it into the driver's seat, but rather ending up underneath the trailer.

 

Howbout shorts and Redbacks with black gold toe socks for the win
Did all the trimming then got outta the pants and boots. I need to break in my new Redbacks anyways so the crocs will with this one out

 

With those socks and shorts you're going to take the term farmer's tan to a whole new level.

 

He's in western Washington, they don't really get sun over there...

 

Yea we don’t get much sun between Halloween and Independence day so white legs, socks and slides, and the worst case of one up know it all bunch of folks I ever been around.

 

To add to this it happened here years ago. People went to load a backhoe onto a trailer. Same thing happened except the runaway rig went through a neighborhood and killed a woman and small child. She had went to the child's aid when she saw what was about to happen. That's why it bothers me here too see people bragging about what they hauled with their Tacoma. They just don't understand how much they are putting themselves and the people around them at risk when they haul a load the trucks not rated for. Although honestly in this case it might be a matter that the weight of the tractor wasn't a problem but the length of the trailer. It created a fulcrum point the weight of the truck couldn't compensate for. Same difference though.

 

That’s an old video. But anyways dude shoulda just kept driving the tractor forward. That trailer needs some rear jacks tgough

 

That's easy to say in hindsight. But when one is loading a trailer and it starts to roll off it seems reasonable to jump off and run to the truck.

 

Not if you know what’s going on respectfully. Honestly I probably would have backed off instead of forward. Being a career operator the safest place is to not leave the seat. That dude is lucky he didn’t run himself over

 

Just tuck them in your socks, that's what I do...

 

Yeah I'm old... My eyes aren't what they were. Had to read that several times.

Its a T. Tuck them in your socks.... That's sure not what I read when I first looked at it.Thanks for the morning giggle. Thought we had changed subjects really quickly.

 

There's certain threads I will use the word you thought you saw, this is definitely not one of them

 

Glad u laughed too.

& yes I do where my socks a lot of the time.

To get back on topic: also wear boots w/shorts most of the time on the tractor or mower.

Don't really like to where boots on the excavator cause I just play at it & don't get good feel on the pedals in boots vs sketchers.

 

So I scavenged my subsoiler/root ripper to make extensions for my box blade scarifiers
This’ll get a couple more inches of penetration on my hard ass driveway.

 

Damn, are you trying to dig up the China connection?
