My grandfather lost his arm in a very similar accident involving a corn picker aswell. It has been around 55 years since the accident. It was his left arm and it got cut off at the elbow. He says there is only 2 things he cant do, push a wheel barrow, and skin a raccoon properly. Have u ever seen a man with one arm carry 3 square bales of hay? Its interesting to watch. He throws 2 up on his stub then grabs the 3rd one in his right hand and away he goes. I watched him do this a couple days ago. Pretty good for a man that turned 70 this past august. I had an accident at work last feb. and lost the use of my right hand for a few months, and if it wasnt for watching my grandpa do everything with one hand all my life, it would have made things alot harder. If u guys ever want a good challenge, put about 4 oven mits on one hand and tape the crap out of them and wear that all day. You would be surprised how much we take having 2 hands for granted. Steve

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
