at the first of the year. We had been looking for a flat bed truck with a dump bed on it for the farm.
We knew we would need to be hauling gravel and other things for the farm, so we began the hunt.
Hubby searched high and low, far and near and we finally found this in Springfield.
It is just what we were looking for! We knew we didn't want a
new truck....they only get scratched and dinged! So we found this used one :)
When you purchase from this business, they go through the
vehicle and fix what needs fixing and then give it all a new coat of paint!
So we found this used one :) They only problem
was that
a couple of the rear tires were slick and one had developed a flat....so off to town and $300 dollars
later we have a new pair!
So far it's been useful. As we construct the water lines for the cattle waterers, we had to purchase 10'
long pipes which we hauled with the truck. Then when we purchased the waterers themselves, wwe
hauled them also with the truck. It's been great! Another great feature of this truck is that both of the
side panels drop down for easy access to what ever you're hauling! A girl's gotta love it!
As we put this farm together and purchase the needed equipment, we're always trying to be as
economical as possible. We still don't have a house yet and still will need to build that, so all money
that we can save in other places will be used for that! And we can't get started soon enough! One
thing that could get that process started sooner though is for us to sell another piece of property. It is
an 80 acre piece of property that we bought before we found this farm. It is a beautiful piece with a
beautiful view. On the next post, I'll give you the information. It may be just the place you're looking
for! You too could have your own little piece of the beautiful, peaceful Ozarks!!
I know Aaron is really excited about getting to play with all of your new (to you) farm toy's including this one :+)
