I know of someone in our area that was pulling junk up and when something hung he gunned it, flipped the tractor on him, steering wheel killed him. ROPS would have saved him. And he had "operated" tractors for a long time.

I am in northeast jones county. You're right about my place. Hilly as can be. There are some smooth fields in the area though.
I live near the center of this topo map near the Maquoketa river. Very hilly! You can see the farther out you go it levels off.

I've been along I35 through the whole state of Texas so I think I know what you mean. Didn't mean to send your humerous post on a 180 but ya never know what happens on the internet right /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif.
Looks like you'll be needing to pick up a second tractor now that you have a helper /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif.

so if you're near the river - you're not far from Monticello .... and if you take 151 west toward Cedar Rapids you pass through (well ... used to) now you pass by a little town of Springville ......where I grew up. So I know the topo there -- /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.......

Wow! It's a small world. I never would have expected anyone to know the area. You've got it. Yeah, they bypass Springville now.
They bypass Monticello, Cascade, Anamosa, pretty much Everything between Cedar Rapids and Dubuque now. You can get anywhere real quick now.

yeah, there is pictured rocks there, which is next to camp courageous which is pretty famous. Only trouble is it seems every year on the maps they include more an more private land in their state park. Our farm as well as many others are listed as a park now. It's hard enough to keep people out with no trespassing signs without the government freely listing it as a park on 20,000 maps. .... Let's see, how off topic can we get with this post /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif. It gets really scarry during deer season when you are out on private property and a gun goes off right behind you, and you know noeone is supposed to be there. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif yikes!
