Know Your Load- Today's Safety Talk

GM Tech on Sat September 06, 2008 7:58 PM User is offline

I was amazed that I never touched the fence!

Always be careful when moving used Utiltiy poles into your pasture field....

Now you know how I get my fence posts...


Worst thing was, Iwas 20 feet from the road-- I was afraid folks would stop and try to help....while I ran to get the other tractor-- and my camera....





-------------------------
The number one A/C diagnostic tool there is- is to know how much refrigerant is in the system- this can only be done by recovering and weighing the refrigerant!!
Just a thought.... 65% of A/C failures in my 3200 car diagnostic database (GM vehicles) are due to loss of refrigerant due to a leak......

Looks like to me that you should add a couple of pounds of weight to the rear of that thing.

Sweet, no harm, no foul; poles in pasture, fence is not damaged, job well done.

GMTech, did you get her down okay?

I tried standing on the rear first- but then thought that was stupid- what if I fell when it fell?

So I got the utilility tractor and a log chain and just pulled it back- It hit the ground- rock a bit but no harm done- the forks came out of the rock hard ground and missed the fence again- there was some fuel spillage from a bad seal on top of gas tank-

I have used that loader for 30 years (78 model) and always know that when she starts to tip- either lower it fast, or tip your load out- done that for years....

But this was the exception, I did not want to lower it on my fence- I had two poles on it, and as long as they were back against the rear of bucket they were fine- It was just I could not roll them out fast enough when they got near the end of the forks- so I opted to go full speed down tip with the forks- good thing- because that it was saved me from complete disaster- they are what propped it up- and the bucket was at full height, so the lift cylinders kept it upright as well. - I did the rest one pole at a time! Sure steers easy when you have a big load out front- just keep the bucket near the ground and you can spin in circles on two wheels.... Oh well, I'll always laugh about this one.. I enjoy making good memories- sure am glad I ran and got my camera....

Here is another photo I had my ultralight buddy take 7 years ago when my Mom and Dad celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary.

I don't believe you carved that in your field, it was done with a laser from aliens from outer space.
