The Farm & Construction Thread

Farming always struck me the same as owning classic cars. It seems very attractive until you realize what a shit ton of work they are. But by they, you've already sunk money.
 
One of the things that most hobby farmers don't realise, I'm sure Thruth does, is that you need almost as much equipment to run 10 acres successfully as you do for 200. There's real economies of scale in farming.

Thruth, you'll be pleased to know I had a sewage blockage the other week. Fixed it myself with a pressure drain cleaner.
 
When keeping site construction real goes wrong.

Oh certainly not me. I've never so much as stuck a piece of equipment. One of our "special" operators. That machine was my baby though. I delivered it new when I was an operator myself. It's our biggest most expensive machine.

Fuck if I know. He actually dug the hole he ended up driving in, so it's not like it was a surprise.

Insurance does cover but I got to rent another machine for a month until this one gets fixed. All the electronics are obviously shot.

If I were heartless I'd fire him but he is a willing worker and been there a long time. Definitely no third chance on this sort of shit though

Man, that's impressive stupidity.

Will the insurance cover the rental as well?

That's actually a question we are working on right now.

Well, not right now, I'm getting to start pounding gin martinis right now, but it's in process.

You should try Junipero if you like a classic martini. It's got some interesting flavor. Awful in G&T's though.

I've had it, it's definitely different. I like it though.

John Deere. Fendt's are pretty nice and expensive. They sell them here. Use Deutz engines and i see a lot of old Deutz tractors around here too. I like Kubota but the Kubota dealer pissed me off so i went across the street and bought a Deere

Should we go ahead and call this the Farm/Construction thread at this point?

thruth - why you have a floor on shelter?

Is the sliding door to lock them in or out?
