What happens here
After distributing the initial hay, the farmer prepares for a larger hay pickup. This involves attaching a large Belmont gooseneck deck-over tandem trailer to his 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 dually pickup truck. He showcases the trailer's features, including its onboard charging system, air-over-hydraulic jacks (which he demonstrates raising and lowering), full lighting, tie-downs, and handy steps. He also highlights a large storage box on the trailer that contains chains, binders, and other tie-down equipment. Before leaving, he mentions having to fix his Wood-Mizer LT40 sawmill, which is currently not running due to an engine issue, and waters some trees and chickens.
Goal: Attach the large gooseneck trailer to the truck and perform necessary farm tasks.
