Short hauls and idle time on a farm. Opinions?

[NBFarms]

Thank you for the reply, Waterloo! I have had a local veteran O/O tell me the same thing. The demandates and gliders have been interesting to see and I have also wondered about putting a crate motor and transmission into a truck with a trashed engine using a harness kit from a company like http://www.kustomtruck.com.

I am trying not to be “that person who has their mind made up and still asking for advice.” What makes it hard for me to commit to fixing up the current truck is that I have no idea how much money/hours it would take to get it where we want it. I would have to do some digging to find how many miles were on it when we got it about 14yrs ago but it has about 590,000mi now if that gives you any idea how short the trips are. I have seen it roll over 10,000 hrs and is on 3255hrs now.
