[AT] Cold weather starting

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

I get real nervous sometimes running my 3300 Deere if the cab is on the low 
side, especially if it's also head down hill!
I added water to the rear tires and about 150lbs under the bottom near the 
tailings cross elevator. Maybe it's because the engine is mid mount but I 
feel I can drive my old 55 Deere through the eye of a needle, it seems 
extremely stable. could also be because the drivers seat is in the middle!

Running a SP combine on the side of a hill with a full grain tank has a
similar feeling related to it.
I used to get the same feeling loading a SP combine to haul it. I used  to
load one a dozen or two times a year but I never really got used to it. As
you drove up the ramps nearly blind due to the angle and the corn head in
the way it seemed like that cab was at least 25 feet off of the ground.

Nothing will teach you patience like a horse. Rule #1, the horse is rarely
wrong...
If you want to get inside of a horse's head love is the key, not anger or
impatience and never revenge. Pet it, groom it, feed it, water it; and only
then ask it to work with you as a friend.
