I saw the earlier posting of how the concrete pumper blew a hose and covered the neighbors house. My brother had a more messy blow out last year. He is neighbors with a fellow that has two hog confinement buildings. That fellow owns land on both sides of my brother. He has his manure applied with one of the hose drag systems. Much less compaction that way. They run the hose across my brother"s place each year. Last spring they had a hose blow out a side of it. The pump was able to keep the line pressure up even with the leak. The leak was over a slight hill from view. They did not find it until they where rolling up the hose. Pumped about two hundred thousand gallons out on that hillside. Lucky for them my brother had dug a pond there twenty years ago. It never would hold water in the summer. So all the manure just went into the muddy pond bed. So them just set the pump back up at the old pond. They pumped it back out and applied it on my brothers ground. As they where pumping they had a bulldozer pushing the manure to the pump. When they where done they reshaped the pond bottom and then setup an pumped it full of water out of the creek. Funny thing is that the pond seems to be holding water now. I know last summer we had above normal rain fall but it never went down. Will be interesting the next dry summer if it will hold.

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
