'tis the season for junk farm trucks part 4

Johndeerejon gets over the fact that some people buy junk farm trucks and/or requests a change of job so himself (and everyone else) can be happy again.

The rest of you happily keep on "junk farm truckin'"!!

END OF STORY

AMEN!

When someone comes on here bashing what you use to haul your grain with,says absolutely no one wants to work on these old trucks when lots do,says that parts are unavailable for anything older than 1985 when they are,then someone needs to give another point of view.

The question is do you spend $18-20,000 for a semi on 230 acres that will be used 500 miles per year or do you spend $3000 for 2 old 2 ton trucks that will be used 1500 miles per year?I do alot of my own work on my trucks and a friend thats a great mechanic does the rest.

By the way my combines unloading auger wont even reach over a hopper bottom to unload in.

I get flyers from a local auction company all the time. I notice that the farm auctions frequently show a listing of a whole fleet of fancy trucks, tractors and combines. The equipment is relatively new, excellent condition etc.

Maybe, just maybe, if they cut out all the fancy frills they could still stay in business.

Or maybe they are selling it so they can sit on the porch drinking beer and telling others how to do it the right way.
