[QUOTE="LazyARanch, post: 1271704, member: 11544"] Mowing grass hay with an old Farmall H and sickle mower yesterday. We have a lot of rocks on our land but our hayfields are pretty good. Just find an occasional one to pick up and toss off the field. So I'm mowing along, and I plug up the sickle, pull out of the strip I'm working on off to the side so I can clear the sickle. As I am getting off the tractor, I notice a nice large rock about the size of a big grapefruit laying in the middle of the swath from the previous round right next to the tractor. I clear the sickle, walk around the tractor and bend over to grab the rock. About 6 inches before my hand makes contact, I am looking at it and stop... and REALLY look at it. It's a dang wasp nest and I had mowed it down on my previous pass!! :oops: WHOA!!! There's a couple wasps now crawling on it and I pull my hand back and hotfoot it back onto the tractor and AWAY I go!! Can't figure out why I didn't get stung but I am SO thankful!! We went out and took care of it the next morning before I raked that field! looked just like a big ol' gray rock!! :dunce: [/QUOTE]
