Moline, Down Here in Texas where I am It is a mixed bag of tricks! 1..Many like thurlow Staple Cattle panels down for traction and footing, works well, but if you haul Horses any at all! Cattle panels are a shoe jerking off problem Looking for a place to happen! 2.. A large group will set a series of diagonal and cross board to have in-place to improve cattle footing! 3.. Seen this a couple of times Liked the Idea just haven't done it......melt some roofing tar in an old 5 gal bucket, use an old mop, broom, what ever and mop the roofing tar on to the Boards! (requisition a 3 or 4, 5 gal buckets of Road gravel) like the State uses on the Highway when they Oil and Gravel a stretch!! Just pitch the gravel down on the freshly mopped on Tar. Roll it in or walk it in if needed. Retreat as needed, gives good traction. Even horses with shoes, surprisingly enough. 4.. Mats are used pretty sparing, and almost exclusively in the Horse sector only. Keeping the Trailer washed out on a somewhat regular basis will promote the trailer lower superstructure integrity and floor longevity. I traded for a Single axle 12x6 Gooseneck cattle trailer that was not taken care of over the last 33 yrs and I am having the Complete Lower 4 inches of steel Totally replaced! it will be better than new when we are finished with it! new floor too. I will figure out which way I want to go with it after I get it back from Sand blast and Paint here in a few weeks! I like mats in 2 Horse trailers! Not bigger ones where livestock can turn around and the like! Hope this helps! Later, John A.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
