    Once the siphon is primed it sure beats a pump and won’t disturb the neighbors.

    You've done good work all throughout the years, and it'is nice to see that you do 'stand behind' your work too.
    I too, like that 'slick' bit of chain slinging there to help haul the '160' up over the beaver tail of the trailer.
    Cheers!

    We use that concrete prep or primer on sewer lift stations on core holes that in the wrong place and mud up and core new ones sewer can not leak out that prep works good . It’s a quick Crete or Sack Crete product in a gallon bottle ( liquid you put on a rag and dap it on it drys quick and then mud it up

    I’m not a fan of wood ramps and dovetails for that reason right there. I have open slat bar ramps and beaver tails to clean the tracks when loading and also they don’t slide around as much. We don’t always load excavators to be able to pull it on. The dozers and track loaders can’t pull their self on the trailer.
