Nope, and driven too the field road by a 70+ year old man
I kept asking if we were putting on too much, he kept doing the hand motion to keep loading it up.
I think Uncle bought that one new in the 60s so it is safe to say he was familiar with its charachteristics

I love those fender seats... many fond memories of spending time with my uncle as a small child mowing and haying...

The framework over the operator's platform is certainly not strong enough to be a ROPS, so it must be for a canopy/cover. I'd love to see what that was/is like.
I guess you don't ever have to worry about needing suitcase weights for front ballast with that model. I'd bet they don't backflip too easily.

The neighbors has the canopy I think. I will grab a shot tomorrow. My Neice´s 18th birthday today, so we are roasting a small pig (ferkelswine) at the moment and will try and get pictures of that tonight as well.

Where I am at in the Nurenburg / Rothenburg area it is right around freezing. Frost on the windshields in the morning, cool during the day, rained this afternoon.
Spent the day yesterday bringing in wood, actually, spent the day taking the wood off the stack, and setting it on the tablesaw one piece at a time in front of my BIL who then would shove the table forward, cutting the wood in half (1 meter pieces into two half meter pieces) he would then throw the two pieces on the trailer (pulled by the Fendt above) as I was loading on another piece of wood. LOOOONNNNGGGGG day. Oh, and the saw was powered by the PTO of uncles Massey. Of course Uncle worked me under the table yesterday, and I had to check, he turned 80 this year.
Today I got to be the apprentice Maurer (stone mason). Spent the day working on a Grosse Baustelle (big construction site) as basicly step and fetch boy putting up big concrete forms for poured walls 2m high. Then we pulled a bunch of posts and big wooden beams out from under some previously poured floors. I wanted to be doing pflaster stine (paving stones) but his two meister pflaster maurer (master paving stone masons) are both out sick, One, another BIL has a slipped disc and the other a broke wrist so they are not doing pavers at the moment if he can help it. Still was interesting and I may do my basement with the same technique of pouring between two big forms. We had supper tonight with the owner of the company and talked about my house addition and what we needed to do. Hopeing he will come look at it and give some guidance.
Anyway, tomorrow is picture day getting ready to go home. Will try and get some good ones, everyone is plowing and seeding and putting the mist (cow poo) on the fields, the Sugar beets are mostly in and for those of you in the know, Kerwa is this weekend in Ergersheim so lots going on in the little Dorf here.

Alan,
Cool tractor. It's like a cement buggy, but better!!!
Have you seen any of those small roe deer? Just to hunt one of those deer would be worth a trip there!!!!

Allen... the family must have a kachelofen if they heat with wood?
I helped build one in 1985... it's a huge ceramic tile oven the only needs wood every 12 hours in the coldest of winter... the heat radiates slowly all day...
Would love to have one here... maybe someday?

Sounds like you had a typical day... of "Lehrling Lauf" translation... Apprentice Run...
Those old world master craftsman can really give the new guy a workout... just testing your metal... so to speak.
