I enjoyed the story about the local "super trouper". Most are alright guys but some do need a reality check.
A couple of times I've had somebody ride my car bumper so close I couldn't see their head lights. I was doing 10K over the limit and wasn't going to speed up to 15+ over just in case it was a crooked cop behind. Sure enough both times it was an opp cruiser.
Having a “big black dog” run a cross the road in front and having to lock the brakes was appealing. However previously I had “locked horns” with somebody who afterwards turned out to be an off duty cop. It worked better for him in the courts than it did for myself.
At 1st glance I figured both of Gary's hay racks as being four wheeled. The 1st unit being a two wheeled trailed applying a ton or two of weight on the drawbar changed the weight equation from being potentially dangerous to being acceptable if careful.
The land is flatter here but still the same greasy clay as at home. On the hills there it isn't safe to haul a heavy load with a lightweight machine.
I had 24 4'x5' round bales on the wagon and one on the loader bucket of the 2WD JD 2355.It's carrying a full load liquid ballast in the 18.4x30's and three cast weights per side. She began to get squirrelly on a hill and dropping that bale off the front became a priority.
You can always make another trip to the field for an extra load faster than cleaning up a wreck.
Hugh, you may have well driven another ¾ hour west. I would have opened a couple of cold ones and showed the fancy birds. Could have even sent you home with a dozen blue/green chicken eggs from the exotic breeds.
I’m actually wondering if we know of each other from one of the Ag organizations around here?
