North End I-15 | People already think I'm pretty dumb , best not tell any re-enforcing stories . :>)
One exception . Years back my grain drills had mechanical lifts . 3 - 12' drills , 6 lifts to be hand tripped . Both for the up and down . I pulled the drills behind a 36' Anderson rodweeder . One could trip the drills down stopped . But triping them to come up was a 50 50 deal . (John Deere drills )
So I would jump off the moving Versatile 850 run back to drills , climb on board and walk down the front of frames tripping the lifts , then walk over the drill hitch to the rodweeder frame walk across the 4''x4''frame up the tounge, bounce off the 1/2" wing guy cables , land a couple steps from the tractor ladder climb up and away we go .
One morning about 2AM I got the drills all tripped and was running over the rod weeder frame , jumped making a bounce off the wing cables and fell flat on my face . Amazing how fast one can crawl when 2 36' implements are trying to level and plant you !
The Next year all were plumbed for hydraulic lifts . | |

Ever do something stupid on the farm and live to tell about it?
