NC IA | Very bad memories of them here...
About 30 years ago my Grandfather got burned real bad inside the cab/trying to get out of the cab on one with the V6 jimmy gas with a combine unit. For whatever reason it started really hard, and after he got it started he pulled it up to the gasoline barrel to fill and didn't shut it off. A neighbor was helping him, Grandpa stayed in the cab, neighbor on ground filling with gas. The gas fill was directly above the engine. Well you can picture what happened. 50% of body burned and got a helicopter ride to the Iowa City burn unit and spent several months there. That was in the armpit of the 80s.
I remember when we still had a 708 with a 868 chopper around in the early 2000's around the time Bt corn came out. I remember my first experience with Bt silage corn and trying to run that SOB. The perfect slippery plastic-like leaves of that corn and the 'ole Uni drove you to drinkin. Sold it shortly after. Was a very happy day seeing the last Uni on this farm go down the driveway. | |
