Dad had a little incident with the tractor while he was mowing the neighbors yard. The grass was a bit too soggy from the season's rain and it bogged down the tractor. It became quite stuck in the mud.
I know, it doesn't look bad. But trust me. If the tractor can't get out, it IS bad.
We were resourceful and used some of the old deck planks to try to give it some traction. It was insufficient.
Dad brought out the chain and we hooked the tractor to the truck and put it in 4 Wheel Drive.
Miranda manned the truck. Dad manned the tractor. I manned the camera. .....and watched for oncoming traffic. There was some smoke from the truck tires. There was some fishtailing from the truck. There was some movement from the tractor. Then, in an exciting explosion, the tractor was off! It bounced and jounced across the ditch and was briefly airborne before it hit the road. Whoops and cheers went unheard amidst the noise of the engines.
The sweet-sweet view of success.
