That's why I still use regular a19 ones 😆.  I had a cross auger motor fail a few weeks ago. I got old one out before crew arrived. Took two of us to push augar back in while third fastened it down. How long do they last for you typically.   I rebuilt an emergency spare again and keep it on shelf. All wired ready to go. One that failed was 9 years in service 

Hog slat in Mitchell told me one time they have a customer they go to, even if its just to replace a fluorescent light tube in a barn

Not sure about that one.  I never made huge profits but I keep re investing back in to gain efficiency's and to live another day. I make enough to pay my bills that's about it. Be lucky if I retire by 65. I was told by a few contractors not many farmers like me left now. Most don't do any pm maintaince and just call when stuff breaks 😆.

The difference between your business and the OFSC is that for many years chicken farmers were making huge profits. I don't remember a time when the OFSC had that kind of profits at the end of a season.

Its a provincial trail system. You have to have a sled licensed and insured. Make the yearly fee $100.00 and give the money taken back to the clubs.    You cant have it both ways. Either its provincially run, enforced and under a rule of law thus properly funded or nothing and its a free for all. But to bitch about a trail permit under $400 in this day and age is ridiculous.
