Yes, I remember the famous "Chalkley Cup". Wasn't that close to 20 years ago?
Stop aging us....
But yes, it was quite a while ago.
I didn't have a tractor back then (was looking) but I DID use my wife's uncle's tractor to cut the farm (he lives next door and was 1/2 his farm).
The fenders on the IH 444 didn't really allow a flat surface so I never tried the idea. Today I've got an IH 1066 that DOES have flat fenders and think about it nearly every time I'm out however, I just hydrate & go do my stuff. It's nice to just come home during day even if to just get a drink.
Still......I DO keep remembering that and have some old HD magnets so I might make one at some point, out of respect to those who tried it, if nothing else.
