L6060 mud fun

[Mbarrette]

My son was doing a little rototilling with our L6060 a few days ago. After two rounds of a portion of field we had plowed last year, we were confident it would be clear sailing
Well, you can never be too confident

OMG bet your new tractor needed a bath! It's hard to wait out the mud season. It is firming up around here, but too soon to rototill.

I can see the mud in the furrows, maybe you needs new glasses...

See what happens when you get impatient.
Tractor mud bogging always involves a bigger tractor.or two.

Combine mud bogging, now thats something to see. Nothing to hook a chain to without destroying something.

Why would you be running a combine in mud Drop the header or pull it out backwards. Wait for it to dry up otherwise.

Sometimes crop needs to be harvested when ground is wet before crop lodges(falls down".

You have not had enough fun until you have broken something or are completely stuck. I think you have had enough fun.

I was thinking dry land wheat and stand corrected. I've seen em stuck in field corn around here.

I guess I had enough fun this weekend then! Pulled into my barn with a load in my bucket. I was watching the load closely so as not to hit anything. I then heard what sounded like a rifle shot and my cab door shattered into millions of pieces. I had left my cab door open like a bonehead and it shattered when it came into contact with the post I had so skillfully avoided with the bucket. Messick's to the rescue, I had a new glass delivered to my front door in two days. Now the fun part of trying to re-install it into all of the hardware.

Oh well, no one got hurt and all will be well. At least spring is finally almost here so the "open air" is quite nice.

That is the most important part!

A "little" bit of blood or bruising does build charicter though.
