Since our snow storm we have been cleaning pens in our feedlots trying to keep the pens dry as the snow melts. First you have to bring in the scraper. CIH MX245 w/ Country Welding box scraper  Then bring in the loader to pile and load the semi. CAT 924G High Lift  Lastly you need a truck to haul it away and stockpile it. KW T600 W/ Artex trailer w/o the racks  |

Yea it's a silage trailer. We just remove the expanded metal side off it so the loader can reach it easier. If we were to fill that trailer as is it would weight between 90 and 100k. So it's plenty big this way. And yes it smells, smells like money!!! |

Yea Trey we were only hauling in the morning while it was pretty frozen. When we cleaned the last pen the other day the loader could hardly move. Most of the pens already look like they need scraped again.
