Columbia Basin, Ephrata, WA | I came into the shop one day as hydraulic oil was being added to the fuel tank of an older Versa Bagger. The fuel tank on those holds A LOT of hydraulic oil. The new ones are labeled much better.
Had a guy spreading manure with a truck with hydraulic driven beaters. The beaters stopped, jammed by a small rock or something. He went up on top to try and kick the beaters to get them turning again. He succeeded with the help of the hydraulic system he had left engaged, bypassing hydraulic oil at relief pressure. He was apparently thrown clear of the beaters, but they kept one of his pant legs. That one could have really ended badly. He's not around now.
