Saving grace

As we started our farming operation it quickly became apparent we needed the ability to lift heavy equipment on a daily basis. Stellar insight, isn't it.

Enter the trusty bucket loader, our saving grace. Between it and a heavy-duty chain, we can move just about any piece of equipment as needed, including our latest acquisition: the propane tank.

With neither the aid of mechanized help or another living soul, Nathan installed the bucket loader--a mere 1,500 pounds of steel--on Mae in a day. When another farmer first learned of Nathan's feat he immediately gulped and responded: You the man.

My sentiments exactly.
