    I have looked into the free standing sets before. I just never heard of them called drill stem. I’ve been looking around for a squeeze chute and alley way with the sliding doors now. I drive by a few farms while I’m at work and decided to stop by one of them yesterday and asked him to look at...

    I think everyone misunderstood about the trailer. I did not trade it in for a new one. I traded my used for a slightly better used that I could actually pull with my truck. I’ve actually had my truck for a few years now. I told myself since I was younger that once I could afford a nice vehicle...

    What are drill stem panels?

    It’s still a different world backing a gooseneck vs a bumper pull but you can get in some tight places if needed

    Good reply’s. I like seeing the new ideas. I was going to make a pass through on the chute today with a few of the calves cows whatever got in there as I swapped my fence entry gate around and added another panel on it to just make it a big circle and the momma cows they are due couldn’t fit in...

    Welp I got it traded in. I actually got $100 more than what I paid and am pulling a new one home so I got that off my mind now. I think I will get the other calves loaded up this Sunday. On thing I am going to do different this time is keep pushing not giving the first one enough time to turn...

    Wouldn't a bumper pull put more strain on your drive train vs a gooseneck? I’m fixing to hook it up and go see what this guy will give me on trade. I posted it on Facebook but no bites so I’ve gotta do something with it.

    Yep. I wouldn’t have ever thought about the newer trucks being that much taller and beds deeper but I guess it’s a lesson learnt.

    I’ve thought about everything possible. I did t get any bites on it on Facebook market place so I’ll probably just trade it in tomorrow. He has a decently price one but the steel runner that the wood floor bolts to needs replaced and I’ve never done that so idk

    Hard to do that to a 75k truck though. I did think about buying an older truck but that’s just something else to be in the yard and insurance to pay on

    Yea probably 45-55 since I’m at the foot of monteagle. I’ve worked with several people from up on the mountain

    It's the fx4 package so I'm pretty sure it's a suspension package. No lift kits or anything with factory size tires. On perfect level ground I would say 1.5-2" off the ground.

    I’m in south Pittsburg. About any direction for me is an hour so I figured I would drive an extra 15-20 miles to a better market.

    I have a 19’ f250 FX4. The trailer is a 91 W&W 16’. I had to lower the couple on the trailer for me to get 5.5-6” of clearance from my tailgate/bed rails to the gooseneck frame. When I did that it made it so jacked up on the front end unlevel it made the front axle tires of the trailer be off...
