A couple years ago dad was buying corn off the field for silage. It was wet so we had to wait for it to freeze which wasn't much of a problem, but the 1855 had a bad robust leak at the elbow after the turbo, so I couldn't use the weather break to keep warm. When it's in the low 30s it's tolerable. When it got to the teens the next weekend when we were trying to finish the bag, it was unbearable. The spout on the chopper also had a hole wear through so more and more corn was blowing anywhere but the wagon. I gave up and decided for dad that we were done and it wasn't worth it.
That drive home was the longest one I've ever had on a tractor. It's only about 5 maybe 6 miles. The wind was blowing really stiff out of the west, starting to snow, and it was MAYBE 15 degrees. When I got to the farm, dad was trying to figure out what was wrong with the bagger.
Basically it was iced up and there was a flap of steel that was supposed to be under the idle shaft on the conveyor, that somehow ended up on top. the bag was done because the bagger had to come off to get repaired. We dumped the rest on a pile and dad fed it up that way. The corn was frozen through so it never did heat any before it was fed up.
Ever since then I have really, really, really hated the cold. Was only about 2 years ago too.

Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
