One of the great things about farming for us is that there is always something new to learn. We'd never unloaded 55 G barrels from anything before. With some good advice and a properly tied strap from Sabino Cortez, we were able to unload everything without incident, which is always a good thing. A few days later, it was finally dry enough to move the cultivator and the sprayer back on to the farm.

Lining up over the first barrel

As with any job, you spend a good deal of time looking for the right tools. We forgot we were using the chain with hooks already installed elsewhere. So Laurie got to do a quick add to a different chain.

One down, one to go.

Down and even placed on a pallet.

Unloading the tea maker was the easy part.

View from the tractor seat, yes the hard hat was worn at the proper time.

It worked!
