I like your philosophy in tools Wes. Since I've finished college, I've been throwing down good money on good tools to replace the cheaper stuff I had as a kid. My boss tells me that every project is an opportunity for new tools, if there's something out there that will make life a little easier, I'll probably get it. That's what I started doing lately, especially as we start doing bigger repair jobs around the farm ourselves that the old man would've hired someone to do 20 years ago when it was beyond what he could do.

What is the source for the do do water spray at the mulch barns? Kentucky hemp..North Carolina trials avg 7 tons hemp to the acre. I'd bet it's hard on equipment like corn stalks. I hope hemp expansion helps push hay prices higher and grain one day. Going to be ground opening as our poor farmers grow themselves broke with inputs and nafta tanked grain prices. Guy that started Hemp Inc ran biggest import of non medical into San Francisco and rebooted with hemp. It's more profitable than tobacco. Dam dept of agriculture has screwed farmers long enough. Can you buy hempanol yet. They are making equipment to process on site [50 acres] for weight. A cold press and a diaper on your head and your an oil shirk. Hardware, lumber and fuel.

Here's my guess as to how they do it.. there are 3 banks of batteries. Each bank is a series of batteries that amount to 20V. The prongs on the battery pack probably have one set of leads that have those banks in parallel which keeps the voltage at 20V and another set that have the banks in series which results in 60V.
