Hey!,... That auger box shoulda cleaned before leaving the yard! LOL

[CDNcatskinner]

Now that sounds like you might have been on the wrong end of a chipping hammer or track shovel in the past?

[OneBigDoofus]

I've been around the rathole business a little bit and it seems like I've spent hours, in the seat, watching guys clean out auger box's, 45 seconds at a time, when it should have been clean before the winch line was hooked on it. LOL.

If you click on my username, I loaded a short vid of a 24" hole down here in Tx.

Anyhow,......Ya'll have nice rigs.

[CDNcatskinner]

Would love to have that as a video response, send it on over....These guys do have a nice operation...first ones I have been around with the Deere diesel instead of the screamin jimmies
