    Semi Load Out Chute

    The only reason I can see for all that steel for the ground load part of that chute is if you are really short of space for backing in.

    Semi Load Out Chute

    Most times the ramp is lowered onto a bar to support the ramp.

    Semi Load Out Chute

    Starting to see some of these pop up in local auction sales. I would assume they are Hutterite made. Look good enough but I’d like the ramp to be treated. Not positive but I believe the ramp is adjustable to allow for ground loading.

    Semi Load Out Chute

    2 7/8” pipe would work just fine as well.

    Semi Load Out Chute

    We just have ours built so you can ground load by opening a gate at the bottom of the chute and backing in on an angle. The open trailer door then blocks access to the ramp. No separate load out required, just make the alley panel that joins the ramp into a gate.

    Ford truck update? What is it?

    I think you are better off to use your smart phone (if you have one) for your nav. When you pair your phone to the truck you will have Apple CarPlay or Andoid Auto available on your screen which means you can use Google Maps for navigating. Unless they’ve changed things (and they likely have)...

    Calling all you good diesel mechanics

    With regards to the original question, guys in the business tell me it’s usually fine to take a tractor that is not the biggest (hp) in its series and turn it up to the equivalent of the largest. The trick might be to find out where the breaks are. I don’t know if all the 6*20 tractors have the...

    Calling all you good diesel mechanics

    I don’t know anything about rolling rolls, but I bale bales with 180 engine hp usually. Sometimes the tractor gets a workout at that. 5x6 bales.

    Pearson squeeze chute reviews needed

    A grand total of zero times ever. And I’m prone to running my head into things

    Pearson squeeze chute reviews needed

    Does it look like this? This has been a good old chute. Replaced the headgate with a Q-catch years ago which I don’t regret.

    Skid Steers

    Thanks, and yes it’s already becoming indispensable. I expect that over the next year it will become the go to machine for a lot of things. I have a lot of grown in fence lines that I want to tackle, and I think I am only a couple of attachments away from being able to do a pretty fair job of it.

    Skid Steers

    It is surprisingly stable. I was concerned about it at first but soon realized there was nothing to worry about. Not that I would want to wander around with a 12” dia. tree over uneven ground with the attachment high in the air. But just to try it I laid a big tree flat on the ground, then...

    Skid Steers

    Tried out my auction sale ‘bargain’ today. I think if it holds up and I get used to it I should be able to clean up some grown over fence lines.

    Hauling 10ft wide cutter?

    That was what was interesting about my job, I got to deal with that first hand. There are many variations across the US and Canada.

    Hauling 10ft wide cutter?

    Your way is certainly a viable option. The phone call to the permitting agent is also a worthwhile call.

    Hauling 10ft wide cutter?

    I organized oversized / heavy loads for a living in a former life. It’s not as scary as people make out.

    Hauling 10ft wide cutter?

    Well, we could argue about it all day, or just make the call.

    Hauling 10ft wide cutter?

    I've got a lot of permits in Canada and the US. I'm pretty sure they would issue a permit for this. 6 way blades come off D6N’s but you can still permit them.

    Hauling 10ft wide cutter?

    Not if you take but a minute to make a phone call to get a permit.
