Unusual Tractor Jobs

Off Road Eglu Chicken Tractor
I found a used kayak dolly that I wanted on craigslist the other day and went down to Bokeelia to buy it. The seller was somehow able to quickly identify me as a person who can't say no to trash and as I was leaving he said, "Hold on a second. I got … [Read more...]
