Bward said:The Metric system is only good for those who were raised with it. I still have to convert everything back to Imperial, for it to make any sense to me. You have to buy Metric tools to fit the metric bolts on everything... or just round off the bolts like I do. Some of the good grassland in Saskatchewan is a ranchers dream come true but taxes are high there and the markets are distant. The winters can be extreme and if you don't like the cold you will soon learn to HATE it. I am sure there is room for you as people are leaving in droves.

Bward- Half of everything down here is metric anymore- Had everything figured out for amounts to ounces, quarts and gallons for pour-ons and stuff- then they went metric... Really is simpler when you finally figure out what is what...
But the part I hate is working on any equipment- need two complete sets of tools- part is metric, part is good old US-- Must be making the tool companies a fortune... But I end up like you-just grab whatever and round it off and then use a vise-lock.........
