Pretty good trailer backing Pete. To be a farmer it means you have to know just about every discipline, mechanics, engineering, accounting, chemistry, animal husbandry, agronomy and so on and so on...let alone the day to day farm operations. If anyone complains about your varied videos, they are nuts. I enjoy every one.

Part of the fun of farming of any kind is the fixing of broken stuff. :) Even with my IH 140 there are things from time to time that I need to fix. My latest was my woods mower belt snapping half way through mowing. When I was a teen and we were haying there was always something to be fixed. It's just part of the charm. So, with that in mind, I learned early on that you just fix it and move on. You do some excellent videos and I really enjoyed your work on your MD. I was at the huge show in Mount Pleasant Iowa yesterday and saw a few MDs and a few Super MDs and I thought of your project right away. It's so much fun to see the stuff you drove as a kid, and still drive when you go to tractor shows.
