[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1631890, member: 6291"] We grew up driving tractors all over uo and down the roads. My dad use to put us on and then pick us up an hour or two later at the next property when we were like 12 and 13. My cousins followed me on go carts one time like 20 miles to another property. A couple years ago I was moving a tractor and disk and a little Nissan car hit me from behind. I'm pushing #20K and the car was like #6K and it hit me hard enough to push me down the road faster than the tires would turn in high gear. It pushed me about 100yds down the road then spun me off in the ditch. I can remember going side ways in a fish tail and pointing the opposite way I was going. I thought for sure when I hit the bottom part of the ditch I was going to flip and that was it... I was a goner. Right as I hit the bottom of the ditch the tractor started leaning and stopped. Lucky the disk jack knifed it to the tire and held me up from flipping. The pin, hitch, and draw bar on the tractor were bent. It saved my life. The Nissan can had no hood, no door, no front quarter pannel and there were a couple disks and spacers in the front passenger seat and back seat. Had there been passenger it would not have been good. I couldnt ride in a vehicle for 3 weeks and still have back pains. There is no support in a tractor seat when you get hit. The whiplash is intense. I still have to get massages and adjustments regularly. I wont hardly take a tractor down a main road any more. If you do, definitely dont move over because they will never tap the brakes. Stay in your lane and make them slow down and then wait to pass. Having another vehicle with flashes and stuff helps also. [/QUOTE]
