Dad was pushing manure with my 1600 yesterday and was driving up onto the pile, when the front tire broke through, then a back tire. I think it was in the lower single digits, and by the time I got there it was getting dark fast.

Dad had the 1855 plugged in for a short while before I got there to help, but she was still cold. Battery was a little weak from sitting since what I think was November when we finished plowing (and still hooked to the plow). I was going to put just a splash of fuel in it and when I went around to the left side of the tractor to plug in the fuel pump on the tank, I saw oil spewing out from under the platform. Turned out the hose used to replace the metal cooler line pushed off the end of the steel line, and probably 2 gallons made it to the ground before I got it shut down. Dad put it back on while I got into some work clothes.

We hooked the 18 to the 16, but without chains all I did was dig away the snow until I was down to ice, and then the 1855 was stuck in the holes it had dug in the snow.

We ended up using a fence post chained to the tire, and the loader to pickup the front/push it out, and the post helped get the back moving.

Not a trick we like to use, but there are times that it's a matter of desperation. The Massey 285 is very cold blooded and has weak batteries. Dad plugged it in after we got the 18 stuck on the ice. Seeing how it's got chains, he probably should have tried that one first.

But, my Ollie got out on her own power, and then helped get the 18 out.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th ... [Read Article]
