Zack wants a skid steer so bad. Is it awesome? Is it super awesome?
We are having shenanigans with the new livestock barn, which was specifically constructed so as to be super easy to clean out, and then specifically constructed three inches too narrow to be able to be cleaned out with the relevant tractor, and all attempts to do otherwise have failed and the manure spreader got stuck in there for a week (completely loaded with manure that my sister had painstakingly hand-forked in there over the course of two plus hours of backbreaking work) and finally my dad came up with the idea of jacking it up as high as the jacks would go and then using a winch to pull it sideways off the jacks, uphill, so it wouldn't be stuck anymore, and it eventually worked. (Had to do it twice.)
That's right, my dad, a master of the school of spending 40 years doing bullshit with inadequate equipment on extremely steep side-hills.
