I was 5 years old (1959), sitting in the lane, playing in the dirt. Dad came over from the garage on the 8N Ford, having just installed the side mounted cutter bar. He shut the tractor down and lowered the cutter bar onto the safety chain. The safety chain took that particular instant to snap and the cutter bar came down and hit me on top of the head so hard that my teeth fractured. I thought Mom was going to commit spouse-a-cide that day. 🤣😂 Gotta watch the equipment close. A friend says that EVERY machine is trying to find a way to kill you every second you're around it.

That is an interesting story. At least your ok. Good think to live by, life is dangerous, be cautious, respect the equipment and learn how to use it.

Many years ago a friend and I were the first on the scene of a man who had been run over by his tractor when jump starting it. The sight was so gruesome that it taught both of us a very valuable lesson about being careful around machinery.

@@mikemerrill175 Mike have you ever seen men's legs wrapped in augers? One day on a safety film my crew was shown very very gruesome injuries you do not want you or your children to have. Same with pro's only in that case the limb is usually either ripped off or the person's parts are wrapped around the pto. You don't even ever want to see that.

It wasn’t until you disappeared inside the rear wheel of the grain cart to grease it, that I fully realised how mammoth those things are. The scale you guys farm at, is truly at the next level - v impressive! In Ireland a 200hp tractor is a beast, for you it’s just a loader utility tractor 😅

Mike in the 70s of my youth. We always put grease guns in windshield and defrosted the grease in the morning going to field, if we didn’t bring bucket in the house over night to pump warm grease in gun. Now I just put tubes in windshield to defrost. Grampa always said nothing was greased if no grease on tires, from wiping excess off if no tall grass to swipe end in to clean off. Mom got tired of us wiping excess off on jeans.

Logistics is a big part of farming everywhere. People that haven´t done it will have a hard time realising the amount of planning you need. Everything from spares and tools to fuel and grain, fertilizer or other consumables. It´s quite a puzzle, and a bit of the fun too, once you get the hang of it :) Nice video, looking forward to the rest.

IT is a finnish made Agco ownwed company and it Will not pull your drill. Biggest one is 350hp. I would love to see what you think it againts fendt 724. Similar but different. I believe some of Fendts cabs are made in Finland, so you maby could say something about the front findow.
