Brush hogging Saturday and I hit some old barbed wire. A 6" piece punctured the side wall of one of the rear tires on my old tractor.
It cost me $185 to get a guy out to fix the flat. :( Guess it was worth it. I don't have a clue how I would have broken the bead with the tire still on the tractor. |

Just wait until you wrap a shitload of it around the cutter shaft.  Been that route before... but a couple of hours of my time and $0.50 worth of oxygen and acetylene is all it takes to cure wire wrapped around the shaft. That service truck with 44 miles round trip mileage has a higher suck factor on my thin wallet. |

Out in a pasture I got too close to a huge pile and one strand turned into a bird's nest under a brush hog I was on, even wrapped around the rear tire and axle. I had to lay under the cutting deck with only a pair of dikes and two hours later finally got it cut loose. Then I had to drive forty miles round trip to a Tractor Supply to buy a new shear pin. |

Looks a little soft in the middle.... |

This has a high suck factor. wonder if it is just a 'dry' stock pond or if it is a hog farm manure pit? |
