God was watching over my indiscretion that day😇

God does love farners that's for sure

farmers

Well the speed I was going with the tonnage....would have injured the driver in front......he had no idea or mirrors to see my nonsense...

Takes a real man to ride that sucker into the dirt

God protects idiots too! How do you think I made it this far in life?

He should'a knowed better'

By the way , the tractor was brand spankin new ...White

Well of course it was new why wreck an old beat up pice of garbage

Half million dollars worth of gear

Boooooooooooooom

Up in smoke

Xs 2 if I slammed into the front driver........I probably would have gotten docked a days pay ya think?

I stand corrected it is One Million Dollars up in smoke

POOF

Faster than the federal government can waste money

Yeah at least a days pay

Holy crap I am crying here

Way too funny

Funny now but now then

Freakin' Scary

I would guess we could drive 15mph hauling the load top end....free Wheelin ?????????

I was probably 19-20

Warp Speed with the brakes on fire. Man what an awesome sight that would have been

Might have been the end of the road for you at 19-20

At least you professional driving days would have been over

Freakin' monster flames roaring out from under the rig just before impact

Awesome

I remember it well.......we traveled in a caravan of 6...spreed out over a couple of miles... I liked being in the rear.....I slowed to give myself more room put the clucth in ....then then made the biggest mistake.......

Sure sounds like you made the mistake alright

I took it out of gear...

Anyone ever listen to Jim Willie?

Golden Jackass

And it never went back into gear until you came to a completel stop. Am I right?

I couldn't get it back in ...grinding the crap out of the gears.....I got going so fast even if I did get it into gear it would have jerked big time and jack-knifed.....

Yes for sure and then you would have been in the ditch on your side or top - God forbid

@tattered flag Thanks to you and @imig I have caught up with the problem of timestamps. Had to take several trys at it with changing timezones and internet time servers and logging in and out.

No I got it into gear once it got down to road speed 15mph or whatever it ended up being...

Yeah that is exactly correct log in and out to get things into synch

@kazzoo

How many teeth were left on the gears by the time you got it back into gear?
