      I couldn't help but think of ol Steve-O (Jooger17), If I still had his number I'd have called and ask him how to get a stuck bit loose when horizontal drilling!

        Just FYI: If you'll zip tie a short length of four inch PVC to the top of your wheel well, your koozie will fit in there nicely. Drivin' a tractor with only one hand can be dangerous.

          I never drove one with two. I always figured that's why they put them steerin pedals on tractors. So if everything goes to hades in a purse, you could still steer with a beer in each hand! But I'll guarantee you a couple hours ago it wouldn't have made a cat hair worth of difference when that baby screwed into that black dirt like a coarse thread drywall screw into white pine..and the front tires all of a sudden got 4' off the ground!

          I wonder what the neighbors thought of THAT!?!?

            Hey Dale. I work for a utility locating service. If you dig before locates you can be assured you will be charged with the damage. We had a contractor over in Colleyville decide to dig before locates and cut a 216 strand AT&T fiber that fed a medical building off of 121. AT&T billed that contractor 50,000 a minute while it was down until they could get their tech to splice it all back together which took the better part of 10 hrs to repair. It doesn't really matter if its out of the easement. These utility companies could care less since most of the time they hire 3rd parties to do the installs. They will getcha and put a lean on your property.

                I can't imagine not liking living next to dale moser. I'd be over there all the time overbuilding something or borrowing his tools and beer. Of course, I don't own a chihuahua either.

                  We had an old MF240 with ground speed PTO. We would jack the drive tire off the ground put the tractor in ground speed and reverse then back a stuck auger out. Have used a pipe wrench and cheater pipe before too.

                  I pulled up and broke two phone lines on a dirt job. I put then ends back together that looked like they matched. Soldered and weather tight was quite proud of the fix. Found out later I had given each neighbor the others phone number, whoops.

                    I don't loan beer, if you want some you can have it....but I don't want it back!

                      What would they think of this, since you're talking about putting in a hedge row!!!
