April 20th

Completed the commodity cart assembly and modifications this morning. The "inventor" of the scaling system on this commodity cart packed up his stuff and headed back to Minnesota. Moved the cart out of the shop and into the yard to make room for the air seeder portion of the assembly. The air seeder is a thirty foot seeder. That means it can plant a thirty foot wide swath with each pass, hopefully saving the farmer time and fuel.  The air seeder comes in three sections. The center section is so heavy that it was almost too much for the fork lift truck. If it was not for the four wheel drive our fork lift truck has, I would have been stuck in the parking lot when one of the rear wheels was lifted off the ground while traversing a mud puddle. Today's progress was good. Moved the center section under the back cover of the building. Unpacked the left and right wheel trundle assembly's from the wing section shipping framework and got them mounted on the center section.
Found out today that I will be in this store for at least one more day, Monday. Then back to my home store.
