How is the frame that supports the tank raised in the field?

Also, what kind of wax do you use on the truck's paint?

There is no paint on the truck to wax :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: . The cows don't care. :lol: :lol: :lol:
As depicted the hay bale hydro-electric arm used for hauling big round bales hoists the tank and secures it for transport.
I had it modded this morning at my local shop to make it easier to hook up by myself. 8-) 8-) 8-) The chain hooks were welded to the pipe and a smaller pipe inserted to facilitate controlled rotation and maintain the correct orientation.

Thanks Jim

The credit goes to my Daddy. He made it. I refined it today with help from my local welding shop so it would be easier to hook up and use by myself...

It was very difficult to hook up before we welded the pipe to the chain hooks, the damn chains always fell down at exactly the wrong time. I set it up on 2 4x4s when not in use. It goes on pretty easy now....
