I was stacking bales on the wagon behind the JD 346.The tractor happened to be the 60 row crop, one of the restored JD two cylinders getting a workout. At about 9/10 loaded the driver got too close to an overhanging tree limb and tried to make a panic stop. The more he panicked the harder he pushed that left wheel brake. The right hand was frozen in terror to the steel wheel instead of pulling the clutch. The driver had grown up on orange tractors……................... The 60 was lugging down, putting hard and loud with the heavy load, climbing a hill and still running the baler. The PTO shaft was chattering as the driver "circled the wagons" in pioneer wagon style while under attack. As a bale dropped off the chute and dragged under the wagon . The waving and verbal “instructions” from the wagon didn't help much either.
