May 9th

Spent three hours on the road driving to and from the coast today. While I was at the coast, I helped a fellow technician install a loader on a 7330 at one of the local dairy's. The dairy was hauling silage all day and it was quite windy and every time a truck or tractor with trailer went by, it kicked up a lot of dust. I spent most of the morning installing the loader joystick, power beyond kit and connecting all of the hydraulic lines. We managed to get the loader installed and operational in just under six hours. Not too bad if I say so myself. Tomorrow, its off to the field again to look at the 8870 that I glanced at yesterday.
