Here are some more information for Tractor Equipment John:

The articles about backing a big rig into a small space are so very important to every driver. Once you know how to make a truck go straight then that part becomes easy. When it comes to backing then it gets a little hairy. If you're already a driver you are used to it and probably didn't think much of it. Think back to the first time you got in the truck to back it up.

• How far do you spin your wheel when you start backing
• What do you do when there is a tractor on both sides when you are backing into a tight spot
• How do you handle it when there isn't enough room to get the truck in straight

Now those are some tough questions that you'll make the final decision about. Here are some pointers that I use. If it is just too tight then you will probably be better off to wait. Some warehouses only have a few loaders working anyway so they are going to get to you any faster if you back in right away or wait until the door opens.

If there is enough room that you can pull forward enough to get the tractor and trailer straight then it is real simple to back in and you should go ahead and do that. You will be able to relax and get some rest and you will also avoid some other driver jumping in line and taking your place at the door.

The tractor on both sides of you can make some drivers very nervous. Think about how long it will take to call police, your company, and the other driver's company and then wait until the insurance companies get involved. Don't be shy about getting out of your truck and look to see how you are doing. I personally don't like to listen to others on the CB when backing because if you hit them it is still your fault. Be careful check out the area behind and take your time because it will save you time in the long run.

I went to this warehouse in Southern California to pick up a load and the dock was full of container trailers. You know the ones that are loaded on to ships. The lot was packed and there was absolutely no way to get the tractor lined up in any good position. I tried and tried and when I finally got the trailer into the hole my legs were shaking from pushing the clutch so much.

When it was all said and done the load I was picking up was in another warehouse on a different street. There was so much room at that dock that I had nothing to line my trailer on and that sometimes is worse than having to tight of a spot. It was a bad day.

All you can do is practice, take your time, don't get nervous and get out and look.

Do You Want To Know More About Farm Equipment?

Farming has been one of the main jobs that people have used over time in order to ensure their survival. Keeping animals for meat and dairy products and growing crops to make bread and to sell; farmers around the world constantly struggle to be self-sufficient in all that they do.

While the popularity of farming has declined in recent years, there is still a great need for it in the modern world. Without farms we would not have the meat that we eat and we would not have milk, cheese or cereals either if farming was to stop completely. However, in order to run a farm there are vital pieces of equipment needed. This equipment is not always cheap but without it, farming simply wouldn't be possible.

The Equipment Needed to Run a Farm

The main piece of equipment you think about when you think of a farm is a tractor. However, while a tractor is essential to any farmer, there are other pieces of equipment that are often needed, too. Some types of farming equipment needed include:

- Planting equipment
- Soil Cultivation Equipment
- Fertilizers
- Harvesting Equipment

The above are just a selection of the types of equipment which may be needed. With each different type of equipment, there are a number of different pieces of machinery that is needed. It all depends upon the type of farming you do.

If you simply raise animals on your farm then you will not need any harvesting equipment. However, if you also grow crops or if crops are your main source of income then you will need harvesting equipment, as well as fertilizers and pest controllers to keep the crops healthy.

Growing crops can be hard work. You will need a tractor in order to tow the different machinery around. You will then need something such as a manure spreader which will enable you to fertilize the crops. You could not cover a whole field simply by walking around aimlessly with a hand-held spreader. So a big machine such as a manure spreader which attaches to a tractor is what you will need.

As well as a fertilizer, you will also need a soil cultivator machine. This obviously is needed before you use a fertilizer as it helps to prepare the soil for the crop seeds. Then you will need an harvesting piece of equipment in order to cut the crops and take them back to the farm house to prepare them for sale. It really is a lot of hard work and without the right machinery it could take hours and be an impossible task.

Overall, farming equipment is extremely important for anybody looking to run a farm. However, you will need to research the types of equipment that you will need as different types of farming requires different types of machinery. If you are stuck for a good brand of machinery then it would be a good idea to take a look at the John Deere range.

What is the reputation of Gravely Ariens lawn/garden mower tractor equipment?

How good are they and how are their Zero Point turn machines for longevity. Have a John Deere 314 that cut 3 acres+ of grass and hauled since new in 1979 and engine lasted 27 years before being rebuilt becuase it was burning oil.
Stopped into Gravely Ariens and just wonder how good they are. Still will never sell the old deere but just wanted to know thinking on another tractor.

I never gave much thought to mowers until after I bought the Gravely for my Mom to help out (after my Dad passed on). Years passed and I purchased their property, with the Gravely included of course!!, this is the main reason for my manual request. Now that I have control over the Gravely I can FINALLY 'BABY' IT ! It has helped mow my previous 3 acres(incuding 1.25 mile jaunt to/from), my mom's 2.5, my brother-in-law's unlandscaped 5, and helped on my Uncle's 4 acre campground every summer for the last five years, some of it, being abusive.

I lucked into buying the Gravely from a retiring Doctor by pure chance. I was amazed with it's construction from first sight. The Gravely was built like I would build one, very sturdy! Even after experiencing the ease of moving from one season to another, ie: mower deck to push blade / snow blower / garden and back to mower deck, I am still amazed. Everything was built very sound with preventive, and consant maintenance in mind. I was and still am, very impressed.

My brother-in-law spent big $$$$ three years ago on some Toro front "super mower". EVERY year since he has had to borrow the Gravely for half a summer because of Toro mechanical failure! Now they want to roll their lawn with the Gravely . This year I will implement one of my Fathers favorite quotes from Will Rogers; "People's mind's are changed through observation, not argument." I can only be an advertisement to those that are willing to see the obvious.

The only mower that comes close to my Gravely is my one brothers John Deere. We mow our Uncles campground together and even he admits that the Gravely is far 'better' ("Wow,real steel!" he said ), it mows smooth, level! Easier access to the deck, motor, greasing, oil etc. than his Deere (although understandably, he said it in private, afraid of loosing 'brownie points' with his wife & father-in-law-haha!)

Put me down as a satisfied customer, very satisfied. How about this slogan "Gravely; the next best thing to not having to mow your lawn." or "Next best thing to having a nephew that's wants to play your new video game!" ~HA~

I am already saving for the next Gravely mower, although ... come to think of it... why would i!!!!
