[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1606318, member: 25884"] I just read this thread through. Had to smile. I had never heard of shredding before coming on this forum. In fact, I wasn't sure what it was until I saw someone posted a pic with a tractor and bush hog and realized what they meant. So for a former Yankee with pretty deep roots in Va for nearly 40 years... here's some of what I use/hear. Stockyards and sometimes sale barn or stock sale or cattle auctions. Bush hog or brush hog Creeks here in Va - streams in Ct. Ponds in Ct - ponds, water holes in Va. Hay is round bales, and often rolls, and "square bales " for the small rectangulars. "Big squares" for the bigger rectangulars. Mowing or cutting Hay both here & Ct. Grease gun, grease fittings Adjustable wrench but sometimes a crescent wrench (more often in Ct) Vice grips both places Country fried more up north, chicken fried more in Va., but usually up in Ct it was just cube steak in gravy and often did not have the breading or fried.... Baling wire was used mostly in Ct and north, for bigger 100 lb type "square bales" yet people talk about holding things together with baling wire.... Baling string Va and Ct but have heard "tar strings" from some old timers in the Richmond area... string was tarred to keep the rodents from chewing on it. Baler twine as opposed to baling string "Carry you" to somewhere was a new one when I moved down here.... rather than "take you" I looked at the guy and thought he was nuts the first time I heard it, thinking he meant it literally...... Give you a lift opposed to give you a ride..... Buy a Soda in Ct, get a "drink" here in Va "Soda" as opposed to "pop" as opposed to a "drink" "ya reckin" in Va, "you think" or " I imagine" in Ct [/QUOTE]
