As seen at work...

Along the lines of the “this just pulled into the shop” threads you’ll see elsewhere on the Internet I wanted to send along this beauty of a set up.

The fellow behind this is a local farmer that comes to pick up some organic by product from my work place. He’s our “emergency relief” guy when the regular farmer can’t make it.
The other guy has a slick set up with an old international semi tractor and gooseneck, but the guy pictured here is getting it done no matter what.

I'm really confused........Is he picking up product in a farm bin on wheels, that is being carried by a cargo trailer? Is he delivering the farm bin on wheels?

I have no idea what's happening here. It all looks kinda sketchy, but obviously well used, so it gets some work done.

the real question is "what is organic by-product?" and "do we really want to know?" #how sausage is made

I think we should give him hell about his sag. Immediately trash his vehicle and make a ton of expensive and dangerous suggestions on how to fix it.

Must be AG...no lights or brakes hooked up. Was that ?

I wish I could just sigh and say "Kentucky", but sadly I see the same thing here on occasion.

I work at a brewery so the byproduct is actually just hot, wet, used up malted barely. He feeds it to his pigs.

To be honest, I don't condone the action, but I get it. If this guy needs to haul his load any distance, or on an interstate, he can't pull that gravity box at highway speeds, nor is it legal on an interstate.

The gravity box properly tied down is on an adequate trailer to haul it and the payload. Anyone that has towed one, knows they swing like a mofo, have no brakes or lights and you can barely get up to 30mph at best. So I get it.

Oh hell yeah. He used to pull the wagon on its own and the double axel trailer was a big upgrade.
He’s only coming in from 10 or so miles out.
