We have a policy at work that we DO NOT HOOK OUR TRUCKS TO ANYBODY BUT US. Simple enough to understand, or get fired. So, while plowing the roads, if you get to one that has a tendency to drift, it almost aways has a pickup truck or 2 of kids with a snow day stuck halfway down the mile. When you get to them, they beg and plead for you to pull them out. You tell them No, against our policy, and if you can't get around them, you back down the mile, and continue on your plowing route, but it sure does mess it up for your route and time you have to get done. Sometimes you make it worse if you can get around them if it is drifted and you have to slow down, the side plow, underbody, and wing are all pushing snow and can't throw it due to the low speed, so you basically just made a 5' high snow wall around them. Then you're the biggest SOB in the county for not pulling them out and making it worse for them. Call central dispatch and notify them if the car/truck is blocking the roadway so they know not to send an ambulance through that part if needed for something else in the area. Not only that, but I was told by a MI state trooper that if you go in the ditch, off the road, etc, you are legally required to report the incident so a police report can be filed. And if you just go ahead and pull it out, you can be charged with leaving the scene of an accident. I was told it had something to do with insurance fraud, like if you had no deductible for a car/deer, but actually went in the ditch and had to pay a deductible for that, and then just pulled it out later and claimed it was a car/deer accident or something along those lines. I know MI has a "good Samaritan law" where you can't be sued, and I know 100% for sure that covers trying to give medial attention to someone, but I don't know if that is the only thing, or if it covers other stiff like trying to help someone with a stranded vehicle? Probably not, that would be just crazy!! Why shouldn't someone be able to sue you for trying to help them change a tire or such? Stupid stupid

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
