What happened to you is why our farmers only ask me to help run equipement when they don't see another viable option. I've never broken anything, but I am slower, more cautious, than the guys who do it for a living, so they get frustrated when I run at about 85% of the speed that they are used to. My regular job during planting and harvest is to shuttle the tool truck and Thunder Creek fuel trailer, to do parts runs, or to tow the heads when they need to be removed from the combines when moving from farm to farm.
I won't run the combines or drive truck during harvest and I won't have anything to do with anhydrous ammonia or any other ag chemicals. But I don't add any direct costs to the operation and am always will to help out within the parameters of my comfort and ability.
