[AT] IH square baler questions

[charliehill]

We really don't see many Rattlesnakes here any more.  There are plenty of 
them but they are back in the woods where no one but hunters, loggers and 
hikers go.  They stay away from people around here for the most part.

Now Copperhead Moccosins are another story!

I've probably told this here before  but in the mid 70's when I worked for a 
logging company the company accountant went to the tract we were working to 
deliver the payroll.  On his way out he found a big old diamond back rattler 
laying accross the road.  The snake was so big he wouldn't try to run over 
it with a '73 Buick Electra 225.  About that time one of the company trucks 
came along and the guys killed the snake.  When I saw it they had laid it 
over the hood of that big Buick.  The head was hanging down nearly to the 
center of the tire on one side and the rattlers were nearly to the center of 
the tire on the other side.  You couldn't put your hands around the middle 
of the beast.
