I just hooked the haybine on that morning, maybe 2 hours before it happened. I know the lynch pin was there because when I got off, I looked and it was still there. Dad messed with the hoses in back and I think one got under the pin, then when he turned it popped it open.

I out a Cat. 2 lower 3 pt. pin on the extension for the haybine because the bolt that was being used was too small and came loose (I know, no cross pin or bolt to keep the nut on). I just bought the 3 pt. pin to replace it and now it'as always tight on the extension, you just back up and drop it on, then put the lynch pin through.

I know it coulda happened to anyone, but I don't think dad wants to try running it anymore, he'll just stick to hauling loads and running the chopper once in a great while. I guess I pretty much took over all aspects of the fieldwork, we plan together what gets put where, but I do just about all of it. Don't mind though, and he likes me actually working on the farm too.
