Some of you give "MOTHER DEERE" A bad time but I was out mowing with my Deere 5095 and MX-8 and about crapped my pants. In N.E. Iowa the weed called wild parsnip is taking over everywhere. It is a plant that grows about 4 ft. tall and has a yellow head that looks like dill. I try to keep it under control on my side of the fence but the county leaves a lot to be desired on their side. I admit I was on their side when I hit this so it is 100% my fault. I live on a county blacktop and have wide shallow ditches. I was mowing and the weeds were 4 ft. tall-just missed it with my rear tire but the mower didn't. I thought the mower was coming in the cab with me. You can say what you want about overpriced Deere equipment but I would like to see what would be left of a Farm Fleet mower if you hit this. I was surprised it didn't split the gear box. I have sharpened the blades about 5 times so I never even looked under the mower to see what shape they are in--new blades tomorrow. My son hooked the chain up to it and we used my loader and it is in my scrap wagon now. It is a survey marker from years ago. It is a 5 ft. piece on 3 in. rail road iron with about 12 in. sticking out of the ground. I will say again--MY FAULT--Good news though--while taking the picture of the damn thing in the scrap wagon I saw one of my missing C-vise grips.---Tee

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
