If you were to pluck dandelions here you'd need a bobcat..

I've used diesel fuel in the past for weed control, old motor oil works also. It's a good thing I'm a recycler and an environmentalist.

Guess your SOL in the weed and dandelion department. Can always start a dandelion winery.

It`s great to work with this group Shaun but I`m not sure about just how much fun it`ll be in this heat tho.
I`m all for global cooling Perry....just as long as it doesn`t get out of hand. My F250 rides like an ox cart too but it can carry or tow a load.
What suspension do you have in your F100 John?

In my pickup it's a Heidt's Superide ll which is coil over shocks and rack and pinion steering. I did a frame swap on the panel using a 1972 C10 chassis but had to buy narrowed control arms and I'm having trouble with tire wear and can't get any support from the outfit I bought them from so I'm thinking of buying a system the same as what's on the pickup that is bolt on and has the proper track width..

The internet says it`s 28 C° but I thought I heard 30 C° earlier today. I was using my Bobcat plus a rental which had super AC. The humidity is 27% here Grant.
I was busy at work so no time to pluck any dandelions today Perry, besides it was too hot..
