Are you ever in the field? In mud?

Far as mpg goes, that seems real real good for such short loads.

I'll pull into soybean fields but I don't go into cornstalks anymore unless absolutely have to. Had a stalk flip the easy drain oil plug open one year. Luckily caught it and only lost 3 gallons. Now they can load me on road. Not much mud driving, sometimes the gravel roads get horrible but then I try to avoid them.

Put a little fuel in today, reset trip meter and was hauling 80 miles round-trip all pavement but hills. Thought this would take it down, but with all the coasting down hill and Rawze's advice in his book for going uphill I ended the day with 2 trips for 160 miles and an average of 8.5 in dash. Fuel gauge never moved. Hopefully I can now get back to making some real money.
