I got in a mess once, with a fertilizer buggy. Place was busy, and the plant man asked me to go hook to an empty buggy. I hooked up to one that was sitting in some ruts in an open lean-to. The hitch matched my truck, but when I pulled it out to get it loaded, the rear tandems were still spinning after I stopped. Turns out the hitch was adjusted to fit a one-ton truck. I should have gotten another buggy, but "thought" I didn't have time. What was I thinking??
Everything was fine on the trip to the farm, but the return trip unloaded, with those back tandems off of the road, was exciting. Like the fool that I am, I ripped up to about 40, and the tail started wagging. I stayed in the road, but had to use everything from one white line to the other. I remember glancing in the mirror, and the buggy was up on the right two wheels, while at the same time my truck was up on the left two wheels, with every tire squalling. I didn't touch the brake, and fought it back to a straight line. Luckily, no traffic to tangle with.
Did I learn anything? No. I immediately stepped it back up to about 30, and it did it again!! Recovered again.
Did I finally learn?? Yes!! 15 MPH for 15 miles back to the fert plant.
There's solid proof for you that God loves little children and fools.
