My area south of Tacoma, used to be timber and farms. Nowadays it is mostly small 5 to 10 acre hobby places with mostly horses. These folks work day jobs, and comute 1/2 to 1 1/2hours every day. most of them were city dwellers, who finally bought their dream home in the country. I put up a good Illinois type woven wire fence, with 2 strands of barb on top, around my perimiter, and started neighbors wanting a simular fence, instead of their elect white ribbons, on cheap steel stakes I get a lot of requests to build field fence, and do cross fencing.My AC B has a posthole digger on it, and I will dig their holes with it, but they have to set and tamp the posts. I will roll out the wire, with my 3 pt wire tool, and show them how to fasten wire to the end posts, streach the wire, an staple properly. I ask $40 per hour, actual working time, and except for some gasoline, the only overhead in the last 3 yrs has been one PTO U joint. Fencing was something my people took for granted, and I had no Idea, that not every one knows how! I raise 3 calves a yr, which takes care of the grass, that I used to mow, and gives me a little feeder calf money in the fall. I do occasional bush hog mowing in the area, and don't hold anyone up on labor.I had a guy in my road assn, observe me spreading chicken poo on my pasture, and asked the wife if I could come over and spread his big pile of horse poo, on his 8 acres. I got to figgure out how much to charge him, I have never thought about spreading manure, and it will also require the minnie and loader.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
