Quickfarms Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 The weather was bad here in Southern California last night. I woke up this morning and the truck yard was wet mud so I went back to sleep 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55214-joining-the-gang/#findComment-412627 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I haven't hooked up any plows yet..... Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55214-joining-the-gang/#findComment-412650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Ditto, I haven't taken the deck of the tractor yet to install the plow frame. I held off last year and never really needed it. So, here's to trying it again. I think we had one good snow, but it warmed up quick enough to not worry about plowing. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

HeavyGunner Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 You have more snow than we do in the valleys in Montana bob. After last year you’re welcome to keep the snow to yourself. 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

1958 F.W.D. Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 As for the weather in Eastern Pa.......We were shocked when we had sunglasses weather two days in a row. We were all worried about our mud getting dehydrated but did not have to wait long, rained its ass off the last 2 days and they are saying the S word for this coming Saturday night.

other dog Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Last time it snowed, back before Christmas, I had to clear the driveway with a round point shovel and a garden rake. That was a lot of work, so I went over to the feed store and bought me a grain shovel for the next time! Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

tjc transport Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 i put the plows on 6 of the 7 trucks with full fuel tanks, and battery maintainers plugged in start of december. only thing that does not get a plow on it is the daily driver. but that only takes 2 minutes to hook up. so far being ready has worked out this year, everyone else gets snow but we don't. but if nothing is hooked up and ready, we get blasted. 2 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
