My safety harness
Mother Freaking THIS!!!

I was a scaffold builder in my youth and I can't count how many times my safety harness almost killed me. Not once did it ever save my life.

I always do it like cowboys wrap up their ropes, but like 2-4ft diameter loops depending on how long the cord is. Keeps it neat for storage and not all tangled up when you unwrap it

My 1450 John Deere tractor. Neat light duty tractor that I love to drive. Develops a nagging little problem about every 3-4 months that usually takes about 3 professional mechanics and some strange part to fix. A joy when running right.

Saw a dude almost get killed trying to reseat a tractor tire with ether. Had a buddy who was a farmer up in natch. parish. He had a 1 armed guy working for him, told me he blew the other one off doing the same thing. F that



Try using a ratchet strap to reseat a tire. I have done many times. Jack truck\tractor\implement up so tire is off the ground. Run a heavy strap around the tire and tighten ratchet until the tire reseats, add some air to keep it seated and remove the ratchet and add air for proper psi.

easy, unless you are one of the guys who has trouble with ratchets..

I can't believe so many people have trouble with ratchet straps.

I'm about as handy as an old shoe, but I think ratchet straps are a gift from God. We did use them quite a bit in the army though.

Water sprayers and sprinklers. I can't keep those same things from clogging and breaking.

Same here. If they are that difficult, maybe they should try a trucker's not.
