ernyha Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 :yp: Red I have actually sat on one of those Binders when a kid in the summer hols. My job was to watch the cut wheat come out and make sure it was tied.If the string broke and they came out untied, I pulled on a rope to alert the farmer driving the TRACTOR to stop. Went well until we got towards the middle of the field and I was busy watching the 2 chaps who had come onto the field with their guns to shoot any bolting rabbits. The tractor suddenly stopped and an irate farmer came running back and made me collect up a complete circuit of untied wheat that I hadn't noticed. :*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
