Popular Post Joey Mack Posted November 16 Popular Post Share Posted November 16 people here in N.C. have even said things to me like: 'yeah well, youve never driven in snow like we have around here'.. I stop wasting my breath nowadays.. My little toyota truck has taken me through many blizzards, 3-4 inch an hour snow falls, more snow in one storm than has fallen here in N.C. in 20+ years.. Before the Yota, all I ever had was 2wd vehichles.. anyway.. Bob, It's all your's bud.. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74650-well-here-it-comes/page/5/#findComment-562068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted 14 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 14 hours ago Well no snow here today And it isn't even summer yet Raked the last of the hay for the year and ran the baler around to start at 3 o'clock tomorrow morning Sunrise was nice today while raking hay Hay is made at night time in this part of Australia when it toughens up a bit, otherwise it just dissolves to dust during the day Paul 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74650-well-here-it-comes/page/5/#findComment-562398 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago Main complaint if the sun is not shining around here I don’t feel like doing anything outside I heard that from an older fellow when I was working in the truck tire shop way back in 73 …. I don’t even know how I remember that he told me the same thing …. When the suns out I’m out working—-no sun I sit in the house pretty much what happened to me yesterday I had plans and I did nothing but watch TV I did run around a bit haircut hardware store supermarket Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74650-well-here-it-comes/page/5/#findComment-562413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Paul, Thanks for the explanation of baling at night.. We had always baled the small square bales in the afternoon when the moisture content was at its lowest.. If the hay was too wet it would mold in the barn. Even A few barns were lost to a spontaneous combustion fire from the mold.. 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74650-well-here-it-comes/page/5/#findComment-562419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago same here in joisey Brocky. only raked and baled in late afternoon after a full day of sun drying it out. then straight to the barn. i remember when i was around 10 dad was the fire chief and a guy raked, baled, and stacked out in the field early morning to pick up later. well, it sat out in that field uncovered for around 3 weeks before it caught on fire from the inside. he had to hire a large excavator to rip the pile open to put the fire out..... it burned for 4-5 days before they finally got it all out. he lost something like 1,000 bales. 4 years later the same guy cleared another field and chipped all the trees into a large pile in the middle of the field. same thing. dad by now was town fire marshal and gave the guy a few tickets to get rid of the pile, or the town would and charge him for it. never got that far as it too caught on fore from the inside and he had to hire the large excavator again to tear it apart. that one too 4-5 days 4-5 days to put out. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Brocky Posted 50 minutes ago Share Posted 50 minutes ago (edited) TJC, Yes it usually took most a week to get one of the barn fires totally out. The fire company would stand by and let burn itself out.
