I know a lot about a lot of things BUT I still have a lot to learn. Life is what you make of it. So, why not make a working machine to make it easier.

People now pay me, to watch me do work, that I have to do anyway. Then starting the last weekend in Jan, then for 7 more weekends, they will pay me, to get to play with/take care of my lambs. Should have over 275 lambs for them to play with.

OUT WITH THE OLD. I know a lot about a lot of things BUT I still have a lot to learn. Life is what you make of it. So, why not make a working machine to make it easier.

I'll be able to pull the pins & grease theme occasionally. New expanded metal. ADDED C Chanel for more strength. When I first built the trailer I didn't have the scissor lift. It was for hauling my quad and motor cycle. This should support the lift NO problem. The old expanded metal was flat . this new stuff is made for slip resistant decking. I know a lot about a lot of things BUT I still have a lot to learn. Life is what you make of it. So, why not make a working machine to make it easier.
