Dave This fellow has done some interesting things to equipment over the years.
1) Forgot to put the JD 4440 into park in the barnyard. Not a flat spot in that yard either. LOL IT rolled down the drive and hit the rock foundation on the barn. Smashed the fuel tank, radiator, hood and knocked the corner of the wall out.
2) He has upset at least four gravity wagons over the years. He "forgets" that you NEVER turn up hill while loaded.
3) HE has wiped out many fence posts with the disk or finisher. Liked to get "close". LOL One time he knocked out the post and then drug the barbed wire around for a round or two. It acted like a rake and had a pile of weeds big enough that I had to get the tractor and loader to spread them back out.
Like I stated the nicest guy you could ever want to meet but not equipment inclined at all. He did start out on horses when he was a kid. I think that is part of it.
To his credit. When we where just getting started out and things where tight he split the rent payments up into each quarter so I could make them with my hog money and not have to borrow more high interest money in the 1980s. He also sit and watched the batch dryer run many a weekend when I still worked in town. I mean all night too. He would dump the dryer and refill it so I could get some sleep.
There is a funny thing about him coming and visiting. My kids would asked me after he left each time what he had hit/ran into this time. LOL
HE really likes my oldest son. My son would help him run the equipment when he was little. I mean 5-6 years old. My son would be telling him how to do things. It was funny watching a forty something be "bossed" around by a little kid. LAMO

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
