I hate seeing pictures of farm equipment/machinery getting wrecked. With the amount of profit you make an acre these days compared to the price of new metal and labour you really can't afford to have too many screw ups. Lots of the times the accidents happen when you're in a big rush or have too many things on your mind.

I've been watching a crazy amount of Highway Through Hell during this Covid situation. None of the tow trucks there have ever pulled the front axle off a undamaged semi tractor.

Saw a facebook post on this from Rosetown Towing. Tractor did the damage as they wanted to save money. Tow truck had to come in the end to save the day. Now velly velly expensive!

Would of been 1/2 the $$ if he got Astro or brads from city to do. He’s got quite the reputation around here.
I’ve helped with our equipment at a few accidents/clean ups with brads towing top notch crew

Mayor from Acme said on the news this morning it was 8-10 inches of rain in 1.5 hours. That's nuts!

That would be too much for sure. But here I sit with 7 tenths year to date and would take what ever I can get at this point.

Same here.. our two week forecast went from 30 to 1-3.. this year is looking like another wreck
