Bob: At the time it happened to me, I had been used to gassers no larger than a 300. Those diesels sure drive the can a long way up, thus it takes awhile to come back down. I hadn't seen it hit therefor I looked up to see where the can went. Bingo, right on the old snout. Marg. told me if I hadn't had such a big nose it wouldn't have hurt so bad.
I can just imagine how the dog felt, but dogs can also be quite possive of their tractors. Back in the early days when 560 was my biggest tractor, we were harvesting corn silage. I had two young lads that worked for me all summer that would come a do silage (tower silo) after school. I finished my morning barn chores about 9 am and the high school night janitor came and ran the harvester until school let out. We went to dinner, came back and I drove him to within 100' of tractor and harvester. I went back to full wagon at the silo. I could see the tractor and harvester, thought it strange Brenton hadn't started chopping. Got to the field, here was Brenton standing on top of the harvester and my old german sheperd lieing under rear end of 560. No matter what he tried the old dog came after him. This was his first day and I guess he and dog were not yet acquainted. When I came along, his next attempt was going to be try and walk the pto shaft, knowing full well the dog could reach his ankles. Anyhow, I got them acquainted and the dog made every trip up and down that field with the tractor, everyday Brenton was there.

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
