You know you're a stockman tractor driver when.....

[David1968]

You can't use the foot throttle because it's frozen to the mud on the floor

 

[oakleaf]

Or because it’s buried under netwrap

 

[davidroberts30]

or you have to use a hammer to clear the windscreen

 

[Welderloon]

You know how to cross a starter with a hammer, screwdriver or a set of pliers

Everyday...

 

[Lincs Lass]

When the pick up hitch is seized solid because you've been using scraper for years and never took it of or the steering is tight due to lack of grease.

 

[Macsky]

When you can’t remember the last time you picked up a grease gun, but it’s all still working so it must be fine

 

[britt]

You don't bother replacing broken cab glass.
Mirrors? Don't think it ever had any!

There is 5/6 / 1988 scratched on the outside of the engine oil filter.

 

[melted welly]

You walk past the stand with all the cleaning products at the local show and think it’s probably shampoo and shower gel.

Was that the last time it was washed just to find the filter

Or no water in it and it just has time to scrape before cooking ,and usually parked on muck ramp to bump itnoff and back wheel rims are made of dried cow poo , and no brakes so use reverse as brakes and wear gears down to smooth and have to strip gearbox ,

...... your wife (me) finds a piece of bale twine, half covered in muck, on the track between the scraper tractor shed and the cow sheds. She picks it up, noting it is not *any* piece of baler twine but a special one tied in a loop.

Shows said baler twine to husband and says 'can I bin this or has it fallen off something?' To be told 'ah, yes that 's important, it belongs to the scraper tractor, can you keep it please.'

 

[Lowland1]

When you use buildings rather than brakes to stop .

Get you with a scraper tractor shed.

 

[Werzle]

When your stamping the cab floor to release the foot throttle

 

[bovrill]

Parking within reach of the compressor, because there's no time to fix the puncture. Not until it warms up anyway.

The bonnet of the loader tractor has been used as an audible warning when they’re too close to the ring feeder.

The tractor has its own little hammer to hit the starter motor solenoid, which you can do from the tractor seat as the front panel glass fell out years ago and you've never got around to replacing it.
