I work at the Port of Baltimore and we ship this exclusively for John Deere. Everyone you see came through me, lol. The season just ended for us shipping these and thank god because they are a pain in the butt and super expensive. Non crashed this year by the union which is a win every time. I oversee the loading and unloading of stuff like this. Good times.
(MET: That’s funny. I guess you have a sign that reads _____ Days Since Last Crash. 🙂 ).
I see them getting hauled to you from Moline down I-70 on my way to work sometimes.
…..as a matter of fact.. we do 😉
My grandma used to tell me how she would go to school for a few hours, then go straight to the cotton fields. Her and her siblings would work with their dad until well after dark, picking cotton by hand. She would come home with her fingers all cut up and bleeding. Seems we’ve come a long way since then.
seeing this made me home sick… Slaton??? that is up by Lubbock in the Texas Panhandle… sweet… yep… home sick…
Yes, but can it plow snow?
