    Trailer tires, best bang for the buck?

    Age is what gets low use tires. Any tire that is seven or older is at risk of failure in my experience. We sell Gladiator trailer tires at work and haven't had many complaints. They're warranty sucks though.

    I got the bad bits out, hopefully.

    Neighbors tom cat would come over and stay. He would almost beat you home when you took him back, two miles cross country. One day Dad had enough of him backing up on the driver's side wiper and marking the windshield. In a boot he went, after he healed up took him back home and he stayed.

    cow peas

    I think your a bit too far north of the Mason/Dixon line to grow cow peas, black eye peas would be another variety people would be familiar with.

    Hauling 10ft wide cutter?

    The route they give you can be the problem. We see so many big loads routed through here it isn't even a big deal unless they have multiple highway patrol escorting them, and crews to raise wires. The upside is they build us nice wide bridges as they replace the older outdated ones.

    Fires in the Panhandle

    Right kenny thomas. Until you experience a fire at the level these get to fueled by high winds with gusts to 50mph with some up to 60mph and bone dry standing fuel, it's hard to understand what it's like. We had ash falling with the fire still a hundred miles away and burnt stems and such when...

    Fires in the Panhandle

    That was a wild ride. If the fire last night had kept traveling east at the rate it was last night, about five mile per hour, it would have been here early this morning. With the wind change last night it changed directions and they got a bit of a handle on it I believe. My grandson west of...

    A/T tires

    I don't think I've spun a set of Toyo's that one of them didn't take a lot of weight to balance. Mastercraft trail HD. Kumho AT52, yokohoma's are all good mid range priced tires. I'm running kumho tires on my personal pick up.

    Niece went to school when she first started and said she had to set in the truck while Grandpa went to see his girlfriends. He was feeding cows.

    Skid Steers

    No end to attachments for a skid steer, they're like a powered Swiss army knife. I'm kicking around buying one to put a tree saw on, then the brush beaters/shredders look neat, and need a grapple. A bale spike, a pallet fork the list is endless.

    Rio max tubs

    I've always thought that the rumen microbes needed protein to increase numbers to digest low quality roughage/feed, and that the increased digestion rate led to increased feed consumption. I've looked at the information Riomi has put out but never seen anything that inspired me to try it out.

    How much hay can a cow eat?

    Ahead of a storm they will eat all they can hold and go lay up some where out of the weather if they can. I've seen them take three days before they all came back in at times.
