[QUOTE="Cab-over Pete, post: 7187047, member: 416"] I remember when I was maybe 14-15, Dad set me off chain harrowing in a couple of fields about a mile drive from the farm. He said if I finished in the light to drive steady back to the farm. Steady? Half a chance to be King of the Road at that age on the mighty 165 saw me bombing up and down the fields like a mad man (crazy man for harrowing, lazy man for rolling) I set off steady. A few hundred yards in and I thought it was all going well, time to select high Multi Power. Maybe a few more revs.... On the bend the whole set slid sideways with the main swing of it going over the wrong side of the road. Luckily nothing approaching. I must have had a smile a mile wide when I suddenly realised I would need to stop at the T junction. Bugger. The tractor stopped, but the whole set of harrows stacked themselves up under the rear tyres. I had to get off and pull them back. As I did so, all the bits of turf fell off, leaving a nice little hump in the middle of the junction. Happy Days. [/QUOTE]
