I know that feeling. My F-250 decided to have a transmission problem when I was bringing a tractor home this summer. Still haven't gotten her running again. Sigh.Between the deer corn, bags of concrete, my trailer and the steel I was hauling, I was probably towing about 12k lbs. My truck is sitting at 218k miles and apparently didn't care to tow all of that weight. The tranny promptly shit the bed and I had to call the wife to pick me up. That will eat some funds I planned to use for drainage issues around the property.

Looking good my brutha. I need to get my 2 connex boxes leveled & get a roof to span across the 2 of them so I have a place for the tractor & buggy.
If you can, try to get as much of the hard work done to the range before dead of summer. If you got some trees to take down get it done now. Especially if they are hardwoods... all the leaves are off & bucking limbs is easier on bare trees.
I was stuck until the wife could drive 2.5 hrs to get me. Glad it didn't break on a dark road at 4 in the morning while I was driving there. Not a cheap fix.I know that feeling.

The F-350 is still down awaiting a torque converter for the transmission rebuild.
If it doesn't take the tranny out it will push the crank forward and ruin the mains. It happened too me. The tranny would've been cheaper to fix. The stator welds break and lets the converter balloon.I’m taking my Silverado to the shop tomorrow for a torque converter.
Mine is starting to slip, and on the 6L80 if you don’t catch the torque converter in time, it’ll become a glitter-bomb and take the rest of the tranny out with it.
Typical for GM…let’s design a good transmission and saddle it with a garbage torque converter.
It’s a matter of when, not if, I’ll have to repeat this on Mrs Pronstar’s Suburban.

Good thing about those transmissions is there is so many of them out there. I was originally looking for a 2500HD with 6.0 LS motor prior to getting the F350.I’m taking my Silverado to the shop tomorrow for a torque converter.

You could always replace it with a better quality aftermarket converter.I think the issue is, a boneyard tranny is still gonna have the crappy factory JMBX torque converter.

Seems like a guy with on could make some easy money if folks knew he had one of thoseI'm jealous of your excavator.
I'm already on it sir. That was part of the reason I purchased it.Seems like a guy with on could make some easy money if folks knew he had one of those
I was going to ask why you'd plant pine - there's a decades-long glut from fed.gov pushing it back in the '70s and '80s - then saw you're after a timber exemption. Any reason y'all didn't look into other exemptions?Daughter had 70 ac of mixed hardwood cleared, payed decent but what is left is pretty messy. Didn't get pine planted this yr and trying to get all the stumps out of where he wants to seed for erosion. Big machine cutters take what they want and leave everything else for land owner to clean up. Lots of burn piles. That culvert won't last long with heavy equip rolling over it. Put water pipes (usually shallow plastic lines ) in drill pipe under any roads. Timber guys had to fix her pipe several times and the meter keeps running. Takes a lot of rock to make a decent road. Timber exemption has a lot of tricks to it, what is grown, etc. but state ag guy will tell you what. She got the creek dammed and now has a lake, state just put in fish and duckweed. He just dug 24 holes for pecan and another couple dz for fruit. Now to get rid of the gophers. Lots of work.
