That's why people haul their headers on trailers around here if they're going very far.
@Smokin Joe That guy could be the "Spokes Punk" for asshat. I live in a rural area and have done so for most of my life,and REAL farmers are not like that. If they have to go further than to the next field,they dissamble the front and haul it on a trailer,along with the tractor.
And it will either take two trips,or something bigger and with better brakes than a pu truck.
Ever wonder why you sometimes see farm trucks for sale with insane low mileage? The reason is a serious farmer NEEDS them to haul his heavy equipment,and when he doesn't need them,they stay in the barn and he drives his pu.
There ain't no such critter as a spendthrift farmer. Yeah,they MIGHT make a freaking ton of money this year,but that doesn't mean they are going to make a nickel next year or even the year after that.
The person in charge of their income is Mother Nature,and she can be a mean old bitch,and the tax bills and other expenses keep rolling in,regardless of anything else.
Don't believe me? Check out the prices for tires for one of those babies,and make sure you include labor,because you are NOT going to to this at home.
There ain't NOTHING on a combine that is within shouting distance of "cheap" unless it is the key that unlocks the cab and starts it.
The same thing goes for any other self-propelled farm machine. You can buy a house cheaper than you can buy most of the powered machines they work with.
If some REAL farmer slaps the piss out of that punk,he can count on me for contributions to his bail and defense funds.
That video REALLY pisses me off.
