    I'm 72 years old, I was sitting in my recliner watching this video. I strained so hard helping you push that blade up, I think I pulled a couple of muscles.

      I’m 72 also. We always took the shredder off the tractor and we had 2 chain hoists and we would stand it up and work on it standing up and never had to get under it. Before I saw that they were hooked up to their chain hoist I was sitting in my recliner and screaming get out from under that thing before it falls on you. 😅

    Rule: Never rely on one source to secure that much weight. Always use additional ground supports as well. Our machinery weighted as much as 20 tons and when disassembly for repair sections could weight 400 to 800 pounds. We lost one of our field mechanics due to a chain that should have held it, but in manufacturing of the chain, there was one bad link. I'll leave the rest up to your imagination.

      When I worked in a quarry years ago, we kept a pile of railroad ties and half-length ties just for cases like this. Crisscross stacks for safety stops in case hydraulics failed or chains/cables popped.

      I have one of those and as I recall the manual says to put jack stands under it before working underneath.

    A slow steady rain is VERY good for the ground in the fields! Not so much for the ground on the roads and drive yards.
    A slow steady rain allows the water to penetrate the soil without runoff, erosion and washout. But it creates a soggy, muddy “mess” in the top layers of the ground. And the longer the drizzle rain persists, the deeper the soft mud gets. To the point that roads can become impassable to anything but “animal” locomotion.
    Enjoy the nice and wonderful [off-season] farming weather.

    Good time plug and aerate the yard now that you have some moisture in the soil. Then, rake up all of the plugs and then heavily seed the entire area. Then apply a winter fertilizer. In the spring, do it all again adding in some weed preemergence. That should set you up for a beautiful lawn all summer and fall. Remember, DO NOT CUT the lawn shorter than 6". The tall the grass, the deeper the roots. Tall grass will help prevent weed growth.
    Good luck, Alan from NC

    I love to see Gauge involved in the shop work. The skills learned here in the shop from those with years of experience is worth more than years in the classroom. Not that classroom time isn’t important, but hands on always reinforces the classroom/books. Also, I would have tried a floorjack with some wood blocking to help lift up that blade assembly. Thanks for another great video and Merry Christmas to y’all and your families.
