The wheel weights may be needed to keep traction in that area, depending on how sandy the soil is, while cultivating.

Lots of people refinish and refurbish these old tractors, especially in the midwest. At this point, most of them are heirlooms - the ‘first tractor’ or ‘best tractor’ ever purchased by grandpa or even great grandpa.

I’m imagining those smaller swirls are about the size of the largest recorded hurricane on earth.

Rights of way can be had for the right price - it just depends on what they require. If they need a mile-wide easement in order to safely build, maintain, and operate this thing it’s dead right then and there. But if they can get by with a footprint closer to an oil pipeline it could happen.

That is awesome. Made me laugh this morning - thank you.

I’ve got one of these and it works great - same principle but it allows me to pour easier than a large mouth jar.

You weren’t too single minded and it’s tough to put out a fully nuanced commentary in the space allowed for comments. There definitely is the desire to break away from the power that Rome was trying to wield and that absolutely plays a part in this. Anyways - well met! I like your thoughts. Always good to come…

If it’s a state inspection in Kansas, those are a joke - does it have a title, muffler, wheels, lights, tires? Approved.

In Kansas it is illegal to put an antique tag on vehicle that has had it’s engine upgraded. What’s an upgrade? If I change out my carb, does that count? I’d contend that is more stupid and odd than the exhaust reg.

Fair enough and the reactions were funny at times. I mean, the article didn’t raise my blood pressure or anything, but you’ve got to admit that this is slanted reporting at best, right?

And that’s stupid how?

‘Michigan Lefts’ is the right answer.

Completely agree - my wife keeps listening to these pseudo-scientific people on something called Hayhouse radio. Absolutely batshit insane. I think all of the publicity on it is because it seems to keep drawing eyeballs in one form or another.

I’m not so certain. The “I can’t roll my eyes hard enough over this”, the “Oh?” inflection, the “Good to see black twitter works all over the world” comment very firmly imply (while not stating outright) that she agrees with their reaction. I stand by my statement that this is poorly researched half-truth.

I know we can ignore posters in the comments. Is it possible to ignore authors who cannot research or write a decent article showing the whole story? This article is bald-faced clickbait and poorly researched half truths.

What safety checks do you believe to be inadequate? Let’s focus on those issues rather than the whole.

What’s your opinion on Farrakhan (oddly, another bow-tie wearer) and his push against vaccines that is gaining hold in exactly these communities?

Because the question is getting to be borderline offensive given the amount of evidence proving that vaccines are safe and should be mandatory for those healthy enough to get them (which is 99.99% of society).

I don’t know, they kind of go with the hair. I mean, if you saw that haircut and otherwise normally attired guy you’d wonder what was up. It’s like why you don’t think twice when you see a patch of horrible facial hair that one guy is calling a beard paired with cargo shorts, tall socks, odd shoes, and 50 too many…

Here’s the thing - the designers behind that show don’t care for craftsman details. They like low country and ranch styles. You need to know who you’re hiring as much for their tastes and styles as you do their actual construction and management techniques.
