just guessing, dumped several dumps on one side of truck ( truck leaning dangerously), then ran into upper racks of truck with a subsquent tractor load OF CANE.

but some of the help you hire can be quite inventive in ways/methods to screw the pouch. i once saw the affect of putting a stick on foot speed pedal, driver got out to take a whiz???? and truck ran into a 1 plus meter deep water tank. the height may have been when i went to get a hand tool to do repair on tractor implement and tool box mounted on tractor, completely empty, where are hand tools, i asked, used to throw at and kill rats.

I guess they didn't see the ditch. Glad it wasn't MY first load!

One of two 'Big Blue Fords' on the farm; last April the owner/operator was involved in a car accident, broke both arms, both collarbones, a few ribs too and has take a long time to recover at age about 50-55, but back hard at work now, other tractor is used for the sugar harvest.

They breed 'em tough - tractors and farm workers

For New Year's they held a ceremony with monks at the house, basically a 'thankyou family/friends for help in tough times' and wishes for a good 2015.

A standout for me was their son, now 17, who had to grow up fast and under supervision continue with as much of the contracting work as possible. No doubts now who will take over that side of the farm business, good lad.

When Ploy proposed this project I said: : "It's doable", having owned a business for 32 years I added: "but be careful what you wish for....". It's a 24/7 deal and situations arise that you could never have foreseen. I guess that's what makes it so exciting.

She's done an amazingly good job and my hat's off to her.

All sorts of vehicles.
