In post below about lending out equipment, Redmud gives cause for telling people no. Got me thinking. Here is my best story, can ya top it? Years ago after my father passed away and I was farming by myself I had need for a trailer to hitch behind the pickup so I could haul seed and fertilizer to the field, then drive the truck back home and go back with the tractor and planter and plant, you guys who do things on your own know what I mean. So I go purchase a brand new Fruehauf two axle pintle hitch trailer. Of course all my buddies needed a trailer to haul their junk cars etc and it became a "neigborhood " trailer. Decided ground was getting fit for corn and had to go find (as usual) my trailer so I could load it up. Buddy didnt want to give it up but saw my blood pressure rising and unloaded his clunker and let me have it. Took it home and Ma and I loaded 4 ton of bag fertilizer and seed corn on it. Next day I come home from work swing the barn doors open and my trailer was gone and the fertilizer and seed was neatly stacked back on the floor!. Another so-called buddy had taken the trailer. Went in the house and handed mom a piece of paper with the discription and price and told her to place a for sale add in the paper next time she was in town. Couple day later ole buddy #1 comes to the house and wants to know where the trailer is? Told him I didn"t know, didn"t care because I sold it. He says, well if I woulda known I would have bought it. I told him in the 4 years Id owned it he had it more than me, knocked the lights off, ruined tires and never once offered to pay so why would I have thought he would buy it??? 10 years later I don"t farm anymore get into collecting tractors and buy a gooseneck lowboy. Wife says, why do you want a gooseneck? I tell her because they ride nice and every SOB on the planet cant ask to borrow it because they dont have the hitch. So I get my shiney new trailer, back it in beside the garage and before I ever get to use it guess what? Same Ole buddy stops by and wants to borrow it, AND MY TRUCK! I am sure the whole county heard me tell him NO!!! with referances to hadies in front of the NO

Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
