***CRIMSON RED DAILY THREAD***

Hey, did it come in 3 sections, for easy loading/unloading?

Not sure what you mean.  It will break down into 4 pieces fairly easily (2 bars, drive shaft, auger).  I have it on the tractor.  To take it off it lays down if you tie the augur up so you don't have to disassemble it. 

I auger into the ground for storage so it is sitting straight up when I need it.

Good idea, but I store my stuff on pallets.  I practiced, it's not bad to remove.  What I need to do is get my rear tires moved out a couple of inches, right now I have to hook it to the 3 point with the lift arms on the inside, which means I have to adjust the sway.  Not a huge deal but I like it when I just back up and hook on and go.

Part of my problem is that I store/keep the implements on a slight incline. But I have never got it so you can backup and go. I hate doing it by myself. You still have to get off to lock hitch pins.

Yeah, and if dont get it right you have to hook one up and then move the tractor or the lift a touch or manhandle the implement. 

Much easier with a helper.  I have the girl trained well.

btw, I dropped off my box blade on a decent incline one day just for a minute, couldnt get it back on in that location.  ended up hooking up a chain and moving it.  Which was hairy because it's 800 pounds and I had no counter weight on.  Anyway, flat is better.

Definitely. Sometimes you unhook under a little tension, and the implement moves or rolls a little. Hard to hitch back up later. I've gotten so I'd rather get off and manhandle the implement, rather than inching up and back a million times trying to steer your way in.

Heavy rain here now, and it's heading your way, Smitty.

Mornin' guys. Hope we get some here. Haven't had a drop since TS Lee.

We needed a bit too, 2.  This looks like occasional showers (with a downpour or two), not a day-long event.  It's zooming past us (on the radar).

I see it.  Appears to be mostly on a NE track, looks like we have a little while, time to go.

good day all.

Depends on the implement.  the box blade does NOT move once it's sitting on the ground, forget it.  You'd have the same luck trying to move the earth.

Most of ours,--blade, tiller,etc.--you can barely budge but usually that is all you need.

Before we got married, my wife told me I could move the earth.
