I just got that same battery last week, cranks way faster than my old battery!

 

Talk about a bummer

 

Yep they are a little more spendy but with the extra cca it starts very quickly even in the sub zero temps we have had.

 

Hope everyone had a good weekend, mine was awesome but I am exhausted! Left Lincoln Thursday at 4 pm and headed to Yankton, SD. Hopped in the truck with my Dad and brother and headed to the Black Hills. Got there about 1:30 am and crashed. Got up at 7 am and went snowmobiling all day and hit the casinos that night. Up at 7 the next morning and snowmobiled until 1 pm before heading back home. Got back to Lincoln right at midnight! Very quick trip but it was totally worth it, the snow was awesome! Even better the weather here was awesome on Sunday and I took a little ride on the bike! Below are a few pics from the Hills, If you have never been out there I highly recommend it, awesome scenery! Hopefully headed back up for Sturgis this summer. Later

 

That looks like a lot of fun!

Speaking of bikes, the Lincoln bike show is this weekend at the event center. Going to check it out this year as I have never been to it before.

 

Hey, I will have my Victory in the show this year, not that it is much of a show bike, but a bunch of the Victory guys are doing a group show and wanted as many bikes as possible. I think there will be 17 total. When are you thinking of going?

Right now planning on heading out there around 4:00 or so Saturday afternoon - probably be there until closing at 8:00 I think it is.

 

Definitely looked like a fun trip! I have been swamped at work lately, we had a guy commit to 70 trailers the other day (roughly 1/5 of our total yearly production), and I have been having to render models so that we have wall art for the new offices that we just build.

Here is one set of doubles (36' 6" trailers with 9' 8" converter dolly in the middle)


and here is the sub frame from that same trailer I am trying to figure out a good angle to render it so that is shows off the suspensions better.

 

Hey, looks like a pretty sweet setup! What type of material would a trailer like this be used for? Looks too heavy duty to be ag related. Speaking of which, with the increase in commodity prices are you seeing more sales of grain trailers?

 

All of our trailers can haul pretty much anything most of the guys haul: silica sand, coal, gravel, grain, ddg, sun flowers, watermelons, gypsum (dry wall before being made into dry wall), and pretty much anything under the sun that can be dumped with a hopper.

And honestly the last 3 years we have sold more trailers then we could build, we have not really seen the boom in purchasing yet but its coming.

go to about the 1 minute mark for video.

Looks like I'm gonna take a little trip here this summer!
A buddy of mine over in Iowa and I are gonna go there probably 2nd weekend in June. Gonna need my tru-trac and 4.56's before I go, or I won't be going far up that hill!! Looks like a stupid good time.

 

jump_n-been wanting to hit that area for a long time but have never made it! Looks like a ton of fun!

 

well that definitely looks like fun for sure :jam:

And a side note I just picked up a new toy a Husqvarna 394xp chainsaw (exact same saw as the 395XP). I got two of them that were both broke but each power head together will make one good saw with about 70% of another saw. I will end up doing a complete tear down and build of one good saw. This thing is massive though it has 7.1hp and weighs just over 17lbs empty with no bar or chain on it. I think it will be just the ticket for some of these big oaks we have down in the creek. Best part is I will have a little under $350 invested in the saw which is sad because my smaller 455 rancher ran me $400.

 

After 2 years of the disappearing odometer, I decided to do this today.







Pretty proud of myself. 2.5 hours, fixed my odometer and lights behind AC/heater controls.

 

Good job!!!
