A few weeks ago I read on the trator talk board a discussion about what to do with dirty oil. There was a lot of good advice but much to my dismay there was a few people that said no matter what the law is they dump theirs on brush or in fence rows. Let me start by saying I'm NOT a tree hugger. The neighbors two house's up from me well went bad around Christmas time. Found out yesterday that there well has been pumping oil and antifreeze milky looking sludge out of the faucet. Now the house next to me is doing the same thing. The DNR has been out and they think they have traced it to a farm nearby that has been dumping his old oil and other fluids in the fence row for years. Now that it is so dry it has found it's way to the water table. It has ruined my two neighbors home's. Plumbing, hot water tank. well, water softner and septic system has been codemed by the DNR. I meet with them tommorow. The DNR man I talked to on the phone said at the least lawyers will be involed and this man may see criminal charges. Please, please don't dump your waste fluids on the ground. In this day and age many places will take it for free. If you wont stop for your neighbors who have to drink your mess at least do it for your kids and grandkids. Let's not leave them a mess. Sorry for ranting Paul Shuler

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
