Granny low, no throttle, and my under 5 year old self standing in the front seat thinking I was driving while dad fed hay. Dad's 80 this year and has been using a bale bed pickup for the last 15+ years running 200+ cows still mostly by himself. I help when I can these days, but work keeps me pretty busy. At least he isn't running 500 cows anymore. Mom would like him to retire completely, but I know that would kill him.
