[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 982314, member: 9096"] I started around 4 or 5 on my dad's lap and a Yanmar 22hp (same as a JD 850), then we weren't on a farm again until I was 11, and I pretty much started on a JD 950 then feeding cows, etc.. wasn't long before I was harrowing... then it was swathing and picking bales... it was a while before I ran the baler though.. It's got it's own engine and a belt drive that's potentially lethal, and there's enough stories of people old enough to know better getting baled up. About the time I started running the baler I also started running the hoe and crawler. I have rolled the Allis HD6 when I was building a road out of a bank and had to crest a hill, where there was a log that I went over.. machine slid sideways on the log and went over... I was lucky there.. Sure had fun getting that thing righted up again, and then straightening out the ROPS (if you call it that.. more of a branch guard than anything else)... I touched up the paint and no one (except me) was any wiser... I remember that day everything that went wrong did.. and that was the first... right after that a wasp stung me under my eye, and then when I was righting the HD6 with the JD350B, the track came off... Of course it was the track nearest the bank, so I had virtually no room to work on it. It took a lot of blocks and tackles, chains, and brains to do it, but I think I had it back up an running in about an hour. [/QUOTE]
