My neighbor was in a car accident a few weeks ago, Him and his sister run a small farm, Maybe A little bi bigger then a hobby farm as I can spend weeks there doing something and never Run out of work between the green house, Taking care of his goats and chickens and doing field work. But anywho, He is in his early 80's and was in a very bad accident and is the hospital in critical condition. The last 3 days I have been plowing for him, But I never did one field that he always did himself. Well this field has a pretty serious downhill grade and a slope to the left If you are driving down it, I was plowing with his 2120 and a 2-14 plow, 1st gear medium range and The plow hit a pretty big rock and tripped, My first reaction was to Push in the clutch to reset the plow. Well this was a mistake. The tractor lifted the right rear tire off the ground and seemed to pivot on the left front tire. I was quick to react and released the the clutch and hit the throttle and down it came but I have never had my heart skip a beat that bad.
Be safe out there!!

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
