Well maybe more operator error really but this morning cheking cows I thought I would take a short cut from a creek up out of the valley. I was doing just fine till I got to the very top and a front wheel went up on a little bump and I felt it start to tip over. I just stepped off and watched. Nick wasnt far behind me so he saw it as well. It flipped 6 or 7 times at a impressive rate of speed and would have went all the way to the creek but it slammed into a down tree and came to rest upside down. Nick hollerd to make sure I was fine and I didnt have a mark on me and I never even fell down. My trusty ride sustained some damage. We flipped it up and pulled it away from the tree. At this point we are about a mile from the pickup and 2 miles from a public road. I looked at it and started it up and drove it to the trailer. Front rims bent, a arm, front and rear racks, dash has serious damage, handle bars are in a bad way, pretty much everything ahead of the seat is now tweaked and some things behind! Luckily I had left wrigley in the truck or he would have been along for the ride as well. Anyway nobody hurt so all is well but I think I need a 4 wheeler. What is a good sturdy farm tough 4 wheeler. This was a JD buck 500. It was a tough sucker and had some guts. They dont make them anymore and I hear parts could be hard to get. We have a artic cat and a yahma both. I like the artic cat alot. The yamaha dealer is good. Anything else out there to look at? Any good models to check out? By the way, be careful out there! bill

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
