I drove a tractor, and worked on them too. There were some trails through the orchard, that we were paid to drive a Jeep on, or even a two wheel drive pickup overloaded with tools, that most of you guys would want lockers for. We had free fire wood, but we had to go get it. One time we drove a tractor up a steep trail, to get at a disabled crawler. After I fixed the crawler, we decided that the tractor couldn't make it down the steep, wet hill by itself. We decided on the other guy driving the tractor down the hill, while I followed in the crawler, hooked to him by a tow chain. Now, I might consider paying the orchard owner to let me do that kind of stuff for a month or two next summer. Funny how things change, as you get old, the lights go dim, it gets harder to hear things...
