I can sure remember Dad getting a call, running outside to his tractor, hooking up to the offset disk, and roading off to help with making a fireline.
That is just something you do.

Hedonistic musings from the rural point of view
We do not rent pigs
Well, feed the French and kill the Germans
You made my sphincter eat my underpants

About Me
- Jeffro
- I've lived here on The Poor Farm most of my life. Located in western Kansas, where the wind blows - supposedly the Dodge City weather station at the airport has the highest average wind speed in the CONUS. It would be the "sticks" out here if there were any trees, but I like it. I really like the spring - when it is calm, and the smell of the fresh wheat and other plants fill the air with a unique "green" smell. My real love is the fall, when the air is cooling and calm, when you breath the air it is like a drink of cool water. Speaking of cool water, my well produces some mighty good tasting stuff. It is hard water for sure - all the faucets have lime on them, but I'll take it over soft mossy smelling reservoir water from the city any day.

Yep. In rural communities, EVERYBODY pulls together.
Did you see the original video.
The one operator did not quite seem to have the concept down. But still a good job. I've seen much the same thing done with a county road grader on grazing land!
He was doing it correctly - getting in as close as possible and making some room when the fires flared!
Thanks, Chas!
I was thinking of the rear operator, the one driving through the black. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Oughta been more clear - I was talking about the dual wheeled four wheel drive actually working up a fire line.
Gotta wonder what the guy in the burned out area thought he was accomplishing. Since there was no longer much in the way of ground cover, working that up made no sense at all.
