That's a whole other story. Okay. Well, let's get into it. Well, so Big Brute. So we farm, obviously, pretty low cost per acre. So we try to keep our costs down. And we were running a pull-type sprayer behind a Magnum.

But, you know, Allison transmission, Cummins engine, Cat engine, whatever it may be, run big acres. We don't really care about footprint in that we're not row cropping. We can drive over stuff. It's a big fat tire. So we found ourselves a 2001 FLX 4375 Titan, I think is what it was. Case, yep. Yep, with low hours on it. Should have been left in the coolie. Yeah, it was thrashed.

The rust had seen its day of fertilizer spreading, but we cleaned it up. There's the video on it. And we basically... took a New Holland S1070 pull-type sprayer, chopped it up, put it on the back of it, and we're like, this thing looks hideous in the front. Absolutely terrible front end on it. Like, I wonder if we could make it look like a Big Bud. That'd be kind of fun.

So he calls Ron Harmon, who's the current, he's like the grandfather of Big Bud, currently running it. So... Ron's like, I think I got an old butt out in the back there. You guys can take the hood off of it. It was an old butt that was sitting next to the ocean down by Texas, and it had rusted the whole thing up. But the hood, it was actually, it had rust, but it looked okay.
