OMG....that happened to me when I was about 16 YO,

A Neighbor saw it happened, when I phoned home, dad thought I was just stuck,....

What a feeling when the platform is suppose to be about 4 feet high and you just step off from the platform to the ground.

Introducing the New and improved John Deere and its implements,

Where competitor implements barely scratch the topsoil only 18" - 24" deep.

John Deere developed a way to enter the 48" to 60" depth..

"John, dear, where are you going?"

"Out to harrow the field."

"But it has been raining a lot lately"

"That will keep the dust down."

"But you might get stuck."

"Naw, never happen. Me and my Deer will never get stuck. Just watch."

Dear John Deere:

Your six feet under, what happened to you I wonder?

You sank to your screens, and blew your raster;

I'm now going with International Har Vaster!

Still Hank insists that plowing the soil one meter deep is the right thing to do. "My Gram Pappy did it ever since the dust bowl days, and my Pappy did, too. I ain't gonna break da tradition, now."

The once was a man named Greer, who bought himself a John Deer.

He gut stuck in the muck and said "What bad luck, I guess I'll go drink some more beer".

Rule one, check tire air pressure.

Rule two, maintain your speed in the soft spots.

Rule three, If ya run triples on the back, make sure the front has the doubles on or ya sink.

Farmer Brown found a good deal on anti-flotation/anti-traction tires. Soon realized the deal was not so good!
