Back In Business

Posted on July 14, 2019July 14, 2019

Dog-gone rocks!

Vernon and the boys are trying to hay… despite afternoon rain showers that seem to target each field as it’s cut. The heat wave we’ve had the past week or so does dry the hay fast… so Vernon zooms and makes hay while that sun shines…

Unfortunately, the baler flung a rock into the back window of the tractor and shattered it. Vernon wasn’t hurt, but glass was everywhere. He continued to bale despite the dust and pollen and crud that swirled and entered the cab… Without windows and air conditioning, you can barely stand the heat in the cab of the tractor, so there may have been some heat related influence, too… but he came home hacking and coughing and feeling tough!

Thankfully, he wasn’t out of business too long, the local tractor shop ordered one right in, and Daniel drove to town to pick it up. Installation was relatively easy.

Back in business!

    Lucky Vernon! I’m so grateful he wasn’t hurt, but certainly can’t imagine how how
    and dusty it was for him, with the loss of that window. And then having a son who
    could install the new one! You are ‘back in business’!

    So glad Vernon was ok and Daniel got the new glass in. I can only imagine how hot it was in the cab, but sometimes things just need to get done. Today I enjoyed the scent of pine trees, western red cedar and western yellow pine when visiting Eastnor Castle Arboretum Herefordshire.

    No A.C. or window in the cab? sorry, but we didn’t even have cabs! there were umbrellas available for tractors, but most of us did without, Oh, the good old days!! but I realize how stuff would come in the back window, It would be worse that no cab, Hope Vernon is feeling better!

      Oh, we’ve had plenty of machines with no cab. But once you have a cab… there’s no way to be in it without air conditioning. It’d cook you in just a few minutes!
