Farming Under the Influence

Us rural types get the occasional email with farm equipment disasters forever captured in digital form. This is one of those emails.


You've heard of DUI...driving under the influence?

Well, here is FUI...farming under the influence!













The last one seems to be more of a construction than farming disaster - and most of them sure seem to indicate a less than optimal attention span!

Heehee!! Cool pics, as long as I have nothing to do with the consequences that is...

In the second picture from the top, if you look closely at the front, center, top of the tractor's cab, you can just barely see a yellow Starfire receiver, (http://crazedpw.blogspot.com/2008/10/parked-in-my-yard.html#links)My deduction is that the operator had it on autopilot, and was sleeping--and quite heavily.

And the one with the JD pulling out the MT series CAT, hell ya!!!

And on further investigation, five of these photos likely involved AutoTrac!!! :)
