[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 189822, member: 839"] Okay, since equipment dumbness seems to be included, here's the first 2 genius moments I can think of. #1- Had the forks attatched, and was in the process of going to unload a pallet-load of bags of lime and misc. items from a delivery truck. Did I pay attention to the ground where I had the guy park the delivery truck? No. Did I pay attention to the ground where I positioned myself and the tractor for unloading? No. I got that load half way out of the truck, and noticed that my surroundings appeared to be tilting....oh CRAP, I'm the one tilting, not the earth! How I managed to drop that load, cut off the tractor and jump off as as fast I did I will never know. Boy what a mess when that pallet hit the ground. But I figured better a mess from the pallet, than me and the tractor tipped over. #2- Had been out raking the hay in one of the fields, stopped to take a quick shade and re-load the iced-tea break. (no canaopy on the old Ford) then got back on to resume. I raked and raked for about 2 hours noticing that the old tractor just didn't seem to be going quite like it should. Seemed to be kind of "dragging". Noticed a strange smell from time to time, then it dawned on me, I never released the brake! Husband wasn't too happy with that maneuver. Yep, another brilliant moment in my life. Katherine [/QUOTE]
