    I'd 100% be a Ridgeline owner right now if I didn't have to tote that tractor around. I'm more than half tempted to downsize the trailer, leave the big tractor at the property, and buy a small tractor for home just so I could.

    I move mine back and forth at least twice a month. That may slow down as I knock off projects, but it will still be at least 8 to 10 times a year.

    Understood; it certainly helps my situation, I have brothers with F150-450 and neighbor across street own a trucking company. Once a month is still too often for favors

    towing 2 times a month would make me evaluate alternatives also.

    Same here grabbed a door knob on steel pump house that was grounded to ground, at a ski resort, I WAS standing in puddle of water by door, common it was spring time
    When I got up I wasn’t standing or within 20’ of doorknob.. Man that wired it, electrical engineer

    I was told a bad winding put current to grounding rod that was set next to puddle …

    If it was an older 3 phase motor, it was all too common to not have a ground...but to have a ground wire/rod and still get hammered like that, weird...ground rod must not have been installed properly or something.

    Disclaimer: This post has nothing to do with the "real truck" debate, I'm just sharing a nice classic vehicle I found for sale.

    1995 K1500, 4.3 TBI, manual trans, 133K miles and no rust. It's just a clean piece of nostalgia on wheels. I like it.

    And it seems to be getting worse instead of better.

    I'd be willing to pay double the annual membership fee if they'd hire a decent IT guy!

    Maybe we should switch to shagbark hickory smoke signals as a means of communicating?

    I've had issues for days, or a week. Takes like a minute to load one page or times out, and I give up. Glad it's running normal for you atleast lol.
