    I've been able to work through the winters and ram all the iron out of the frozen earth but yesterday was the first time I failed to get a few pieces. Even broke some iron and left it sticking in the ground. Hate to leave a mess. When anything sits a long time it sinks away with the freezing/thawing process and becomes underground. It didn't help that the grass was tall and I didn't see that upside down field cultivator that had the spades sticking up. That instant loud hissing sound is never a good sign. I carry a generator and air compressor and my handy John Deere starting fluid and the torch for the times that the tires come off the rims.

    I noticed I even bent a tooth on the pallet fork. This is called Winter Olympics..!
