In our area, we have some hills between us and the columbia river hwy. The truck route is a windy snake, that makes some go the extra distance to portland via the freeway (NO Hazmat on the freeway). There are several lesser routs over the hills, most marked NO thru trucks. One of the guys I used to work with was headed home in his pickup via one of those lesser routs. He came around a series of corners only to find a big-rig with a 4 axle 53 foot trailer stuck in the road. The landing gear was grounded out on a high spot in the road. The driver was frantic, He asked my co-worker if he could help him back it back down the road. The highway was probably only 3 or so miles behind him. My buddy looked at the trailer and saw that there were all 4 outside tires blown on one side and 2 on the other side. My buddy was thinking how to politely tell this guy he was in deep trouble when a county mounty showed up. Problem solved. I have no idea how they got that thing out of there, but it was ugly. I have been over that road with a 4 axle truck, but I would have to be desperate to try it with my 4 axle wagon. The truck-trailer combination tracks much better than a semi. Tim in OR

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
