I was young, probably around 10 when I started driving a tractor baling hay. It was a Massey Ferguson MF35 with a Perkins Diesel pulling a New Holland 68 baler with a 2 cylinder Wisconsin engine. I can still hear the sound in my head of that engine working hard on a heavy windrow, especially when pushing hard trying to beat the rain!

I don't think there was a hotter place on earth than driving that old 71 Ford 600 with a hay loader on the side driving around the field picking up bales while my dad was stacking. Couldn't wait to be done so I could get out of that truck just so I might get just the slightest amount of a breeze as it blew by. It was a happy day with my endless begging dad finally bought a small dash mounted fan for the old truck.

When I was in my teens I remember working in the hayfield seeing the beautiful girl next door outside and not being able to stand the wait till I was done with the work day so she and I take a cool plunge into our favorite swimming hole. At times I wandered what she saw in me covered in dirt and dust from head to toe, but I will say she loved her farm boy. Those memories have faded, a lot of good times and bad but I wouldn't trade any of them for the world!
