Couple weeks ago I lost two chains.
A 20' 3/8" and a 10' 5/16".
It's really been bugging me.
Slight chance of theft, damnit anyway.
No use looking now as everything is covered in snow. When you find them, you'll remember why you left them where you did.

Losing farm chains is one of the worst. For whatever reason they last so long they are usually packed with memories and have an inflated worth to their rightful owner. At least they do for me.

I always seem to lose chains after throwing them in the bucket after lifting something.

My wife is a great “organizer”. When i can’t find something, five’ll get you ten she’s organized it into a new secret location because SHE doesn’t use it, hence it should be put someplace where it doesn’t clutter up the stuff SHE uses.
What fresh Hell is this?

A brush hog is the best metal detector for farm fencing and logging cable that has ever been invented.

When our older daughter was 4 or so, that little monster would hide inside the coats or long clothes when we went into clothing stores. First time scared us to death, we found her when she started giggling or we'd have never found her. I know right where my big chain is. At the bottom of a bucket of yard tools holding the whole thing upright. I have to really need it before I go get it.

LOL... Yeah, I could write a book. Most of the time it's old, rolled up barbwire, and sometimes cattle panels left flat on the ground. But once, I found an old steel/porcelain bath tub they'd used as a water trough, but had been dragged off and weeds/brush had grown up so that I couldn't see it. Hit the PTO kill switch quick, but not before it looked like a rolled up burrito.

I already bought replacements from a local store.
3/8" was $120
5/16" was $80
Ouch.
Then I went on the internet and ordered some made in the USA versions.
You can never have too many chains.

Especially when they slide off the flatbed into the snow... Y'all have a Merry Christmas, Sam!

Yesterday I watched a guy pick up a bale of hay from the highway and stuff it in the back of his car. This year a bale costs a few $$. I haven't lost many thing permanently but I sure spend a lot of time turning around looking for something I laid down 2 minutes ago.
