can whlvr 993 #1 Posted January 25, 2017 so this weekend a good friend and my next door neighbor of 30 years crashed his truck into a bridge and died instantly.as some may have read earlier we got hit hard by the ice storm last week,well then it warmed up and rained,making the roads and driveways a nightmare,probally the worst ive ever seen,my friend was coming home from work at 5 pm,turned onto a gravel road near us,sped up,hit someice on the road and swerved out of control and died hitting a concrete bridge.still in shock,he was a mechanic for large equipment and had a liking for the horses,he couldn't believe how many I have,and was allways amazed at what they could do,we deweeded his pond years ago with one and a drag harrow,and when id plow his drive he just shake his head and say I cant believe what those little tractors could do,he will be missed greatly.his wife will have to move,ill never get neighbors like them again,my wife and his wife are close so its real tough on my wife,you never know when its our time,so enjoy every day 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 47,982 #15 Posted January 26, 2017 Not fun at all ...I have a neighbor who likes my little tractors and helps me out with his big tractors when needed. I have ten acres, he has 200 but lets me roam them at my leisure when my tractors need their legs stretched. We have had our disagreements but still neighbors like that are hard to come by.
