In my case it's, probably a case of the tractor making me what I am in a round about way. Dad grew up on his grandpa's tobacco farm. As it has been told to me, like any kid Dad didn't listen very well sometimes. So when his grandpa told him not to pull one of the smaller tractors out of a huge mud puddle with a much larger tractor, he went ahead and did it anyway.
