I  had an interesting morning---     we have one of  those  side arm mowers that   fits on a 3pt hitch and goes 12ft up  or out from the tractor.

today I   backed up and  nicked a tree-- that was all the   rock-shaft on the  285 massey could take--- it BROKE OFF!!!!     I  got it off the tractor and  took off after  another tractor.

On the way out of the field I came across  what use to be  the tongue out of  my 4 bottom  PLOW!!!    IT WAS  SCRAPPED  last week sometime!!!   this is getting rediculous...  well.
