so, in an attempt to engage my readers (and to see if there are any readers), I present you with an opportunity to win internet prestige and possibly a fabulous prize (it might depend on if the winner lives nearby...) to the first person to correctly answer the following question:
What is the first trouble-shooting method used by myself and other wolf pine farmers when an implement will not come off (or go on) to the tractor?
(Our tractor has a three-point hitch and all the different tools we have to till the soil have to be put on the tractor to be used...you are welcome to do research...)
You can answer in the comment section....

Dad asks if you have it plugged in.
I wonder if WD40 works on everything, including tractor hitches.
Wrong? We will research and get back to you!
WD40 is always on the trouble-shooting list, though not the first thing.
a sledgehammer?
good guess. not quite.
Hmmm...swearing? I really couldn't even fathom- I just wanted to write someting.
Love the blog. Whenever I'm wiped out- I read your blog and think of all the physical labor I'm NOT doing (and then I don't feel so bad)!
Drat-
I think the complexity of your question shows how farm smart you are now, because I am not sure we are speaking the same language. I do not speak farm-ese, so I don't have a clue. But good for you for knowing the right answer, and even how to ask a question like that. Love it. Love the blog. I like to think that I am learning a bit of farm-ese, just from reading the blog, and your wit makes it easy and fun to read!
kicking it?
yay!! kicking it and kicking it hard. preferably with boots on. how do you feel about parsley for a prize?
parsley sounds amazing. i'm honored.
...and i'm left with an excellent image of tractor-kicking, which i think might be one of the coolest bullet points on a job description ever.
:)
