Hmm...around here we CUT hay and MOW the lawn. <br /> <br />We have a semi truck (only 80k though) and it goes right into the field like anything else will. Down the gravel road, across the bridge build in the mid-60's and a left turn on the tar and chip blacktop road. <br /> <br />Two years ago this summer, 2004, we grew a field of wheat and lost our***on it. What kept things almost marginal was that we BALED the STRAW and sold it after the wheat was picked by the 30,000lb combine which loaded the SEMI right in the FIELD and hauled it up the DIRT road to the gravel road to the river terminal. Which is what EVERYONE else does who has a semi, or any truck for that matter. It gets loaded in the field and driven out to wherever. <br /> <br />Moral of the story... Stick to the highway you guys, go for the sunday drive with your families, take pictures and say "look at the pretty tractor" to your kids (provided they're not allergic to the dust). <br />
