Sorry, James, no pictures.I ran over a parked pickup in my hayfield once. :
Pictures? I would like to see how it turned out.
My cousin was baling my hay with his new Vermeer. I was finished raking, and had started moving the rolls to the barn. A service tech, from the Vermeer dealer, had pulled up beside the baler, then hopped on my cousin's tractor for a ride-a-long. I forgot all about that pickup parked in the middle of the hay field - until I hit it!!! Centered the hood with the hay bale, and the forks went through the windshield. The service tech thought it was funny. (but, I didn't laugh about it for a few days)
Back then, I was running my NH 7610S MFWD (100hp) tractor with FEL, 8' wide bucket, and bucket forks. After that day, I bought a hay spear for it.
My insurance paid for the damage to the truck, so the only thing hurt was my pride.
I try to put that behind me. It's been several years, but I probably still need therapy.
