[AT] No politics - and a tractor question.

[Spencer Yost]

Thanks Cecil.  I have seen those around in the past, but they are not called speed movers around here.   I thought I had heard them called "pans"(just like the big machines) but searches on craiglist and whatnot return nothing but those little things some folks use to muck stalls.

Any ideas on other names/terms to search?
