Bad day Farming

Hickory Creek · Dec 2, 2015

I cannot take credit for these pictures. It looks like Iowa State put them together. Scrolled down to view. The train wreck ones make you think.

Having a bad day on the farm.....

Looks like it.

Those baler fires are scary.

They all look like they are bad days

And I think I have a bad day when I get a flat tire.:tractor:

There is a guy that lives down the road and whose tractor looks like that first one 3 or 4 times a year. Most people won't stop to help any more when it is stuck. They have decided that they were just enabling him and it is time to let him hire someone to get him out now.

That was pretty neat to see unloading the grain with the loader tractor.

Can't believe Iowa State University would publish that!

Yes, round bales can role down hill.

Can't they even spell?

I think most of those pics have been posted here, over the last few years. Didn't take a lot to get those pics together, either.

Ag department. Short answer, no.

I've seen most of those on FarmPhoto.com - View and share your own! .

I think I am having a good day after all. Ed

It looks like a couple of these "accidents" occurred with the tractor under GPS control and the operator sleeping or texting.

I just keep thinking how the driver felt when the JD on page 27 took the nose dive. What would be your first thought?

The combine on page 5, I keep thinking, "Well now at least we can do that little weld on the bottom there with out getting our pants durty." Ed

Actually that comes from setting in a dark room and doing my hunt and peck, but I will never win the national spelling bee.

I'm still trying to figure out what happened on page 20? Looks like a FEL bucket from the front and some kind of ripper on the back, both under a now much shorter tractor???? :confused2:

Story I originally saw was that it had a "hydraulic failure" at speed, loader dug in. Kind of like tripping over your own shoe string.

I think what looks like a ripper is a silage grapple on top of the bucket.
