SC Minnesota
Long ago a buddy and I were plowing corn stalks late at night. The rounds were 1 mile long, so it took almost 20 minutes to make a pass. And as I turned around I started to notice that his tractor didn't seem to be moving. So as I plowed along to the end. I started thinking of something to do to him. When I pulled up behind him sure enough his head was hanging down and taking a nap. As I crawled up the steps to the cab door I noticed that he had taken it out of gear and idled the tractor back so all was safe. I ever so slowly and quitely opened the door. He still didn't wake so I reached over to the trottle and opened her up. Boy did that make him jump. He pushed in the clutch lifted the plow and started turning the steering wheel all at the same moment. I know it wasn't nice, but we still laugh about it today. Oh yeah we called it a day after he gathered his bearings.
