Chet mentioned gravel was needed for a project this year. When you erected the last corn bin there were a lot of trips to pick up gravel for the base. Since you were storing corn in smaller bins last fall plus selling corn directly from the field, my guess is Larson Farms is erecting a new corn bin in 2024.

You guys work great together and it’s amazing how you boys can fix anything! I am not shocked you boys tear so much up but you work hard and play hard! I hope you guys miss all that snow! Chet! Chet! Chet! Don’t put the snow blower up…it will bite you every time! Hope everyone has a blessed week!

In Aus. we call those rims spider rims. They are fine but after fitting a rim to wheel you have to keep tightening the wheel nuts for a while as they will come loose. Also when tightening the nuts you spin the wheel with an object on the ground close to the tyre to check that the wheel is mounted so it has not got a lot of wobble. Also when taking off the wheel NEVER take the nuts right off only loosen them as the wedge will have to be hit with a hammer to dislodge it and if the nut is off the wedge will fly off and people have been killed as a result of being hit in the head.

Oldtimers that drove truck in the 70s (like my Dad) called those rims Daytons (split rims) and Bydds (1 piece rims). It's very rare to see a trailer with Dayton rims still on the road.
@codyfoster79818 ай бұрын
Dayton and budd is the hub style has nothing to do with one piece wheels or split wheels. BUDD refers to stud pilot hubs in which a set of lug nuts goes on the inner wheel then the outer wheel and another set of lug nuts. Or Hub pilot hubs which have one set of lug nuts. Dayton refers to the spoke style hubs that use wedges and nuts to hold the wheels on. Daytons are still super common on trailers Especially container trailers

@@codyfoster7981well said split rims are not common at all eny more Daytons are not bad at all just keep an eye on the ring if running budds on the rest of the fleet then keep them the same

Chef , buy a good truck tire wheel dolly and you will never have to take the tires off the hub to do a brake job or wheel seal replacement again. Just remove the oil or grease cap,take the wheel nuts off and pull the whole assembley. I worked on tractor-trailers 22 years and never broke them down the way you guys do. You certainly have enough trucks to warrant owning one.

Seems there is always a few things to fix on a new purchase. Overall looks ok. Shop looks full with jobs. You and the crew always work your way through all the jobs. Dougo is checking out the new purchase while he was gone. Seems ok with it. Chet has a keen eye when buying. All for now. Thanks for everything. You all take care. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

You and your crew are almost more of mechanics than farmers. Although the two go hand and hand. If you look at the fleet of equipment, the replacement value would blow most people’s mind. But, it appears you buy good solid used equipment run it and maintain it. That will serve you guys well long term. so many BTOs run new leased equipment. Inflation will cost them big.
