Yes there’s a bunch of creosote 12’ long 3x12s the previous owner left. Planned on using those to tie all the pilings together and using another board on top perpendicular.

I’d have 2 feet on each side anchored into the ground, then a 12’ span to support 6k pounds

Gents, I have a 12’ span that I think will be easier to build a small bridge over rather than redo the blocked culvert and place a new bigger one then fill over it. My question is, will (2) 16 foot long, 8” in diameter pilings support 6k pounds for a 12’ span? I plan on spacing them 70” apart to be directly below my tractor tires and having 2 feet on each side in the dirt. TIA

I watched Dvor for a while and got a nice Wood stock for a little over a hundred bucks. Got to replacement trigger for about $70. Is a really nice firearm now. Of course for what I've got in it, I could have just bought a Tikka.

That was my thinking as well. For the mods I had to do I was close to a tikka price but the bolt was still stiff. I reload and was tinkering with seating depths and the bolt on the ruger was way more finicky than the tikka.

I wanted a 16” barrel 308. Went cheap and bought the ruger. Stock and barrel are nice but trigger sucks and the bolt was stiff and sticky. I tried to work the bolt and smooth it out for a week and gave up. Sold the ruger and bought the tikka roughtech ranch in 308. Twice the price but worth it. Roughtech stock is nice, trigger is a typical 3# crisp tikka trigger and fluted bolt is silky smooth. I reload and had a wanted to shoot 165gr bullets but it groups 150s better. I also have a can on it.

Neil Norberto is fantastic. Casey Cahill is awesome too and did a fellowship in glaucoma. I work with both of them and think they are very good docs.

FIL had the aqua ablation done in June. Had to have a catheter for a week and drink plenty of water to pass clots. Removed the catheter and he pees like a fire hose now. I think he’s off or will be off his BPH meds soon.

No question. Absolutely 2 axles if hauling that far. Handles better and when you have a blowout you won’t lose your sxs.

Picked up the tractor last week. Went with a Kubota mx5400HST, 1065 loader w/quick attach, RCF 2772 land pride cutter, 4k forks, 6’ atlas 500 series disc, 3rd function kit, and 14k trailer w/ brakes on both axles. Hoping to buy once, cry once. I Used it for a couple of hours cutting and it’s a beast but I almost killed it bc I didn’t stop often enough to clean the radiator and screen as I was cutting 6’ tall grass and it got clogged pretty bad. Let it cool down and cleaned it frequently and it was good after that. Pulling it on MS roads is fine with the brakes, Louisiana roads are a very different story. Thanks everyone for the advice.

Tikka makes a roughtech ranch 308 16” barrel. I initially bought the Ruger gen 2 and hated it. Sticky bolt, crappy trigger. Bought the tikka and am very happy. Silky smooth bolt and awesome factory trigger. Both come threaded and I put a cgs Hyperion k on it. Awesome little set up.
