I didn't mean to come across as being arrogant in this situation, there is a long story behind it. My company is in the restaurant business, we own 140 some Burger Kings and 50 Chilis in 5 states. 6 years ago we decided to start servicing our own properties. We started with 2 crews the first year, adding one crew a year till all the markets were being serviced. I was one of the 2 crew captains. In the next couple years, I proved myself and worked up to the field manager of the entire landscape dept. I mowed 2 days a week locally and spent the rest of the week on the road keeping everything moving smoothly. I had a counterpart,Ken, who kept all the paperwork and office nonsense done, we worked great together. Till the bean counter came along. Ken had been with the company 23 years and was basically manipulated and squeezed out of the company by the clown. I was promoted to Kens position, I did it for one year and over the winter the bean counter convinced the company VP that he was such a great bean counter, so I was demoted. Now all decisions are made by someone on our corporate 3rd floor who has not spent a total of one hour out in the field doing the job. There have been scores of out right stupid decisions handed down, this is just another one that irked me. The guy knows nothing about the equipment, and didn't bother telling me any of this while I had the equipment out and could have serviced it but now that it is basically put away for the winter, he comes up with this stuff. Sorry for the rant, still a little miffed about the last big decision the moron made. I had a 95 f250 with 269K miles, it was getting tired and he decided to go buy a new truck, without any input from the guy who actually uses it. He shows up with a 2 wheel drive half ton with a V6. I think the trailer I pull is heavier than this joke he bought. He didn't have the common sense to buy a 4 wheel drive real truck, let alone a diesel. Oh well, thanks for your ideas on what is best to maintain the equip.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
