Faunsdale, AL | If you ever get a shot at some treated old bridge timbers, grab some. They last forever and a few minutes with a chainsaw will yield a selection of pieces you can use to jack up anything and crib it up securely.
Last old bridge the county took out near us, the track hoe operator reduced the timbers to splinters. It was a waste, but we had a pile out back already from an earlier removal by a much more careful operator.
I can think of one combine tire blowout that proved the old adage of “if it can happen it will“. It was not only in very soft ground, it was loaded and at the time we had nothing that would reach it to unload into. That thing took some blocks and cribbing! Thank goodness it was only a 4420 Deere. | |
