[AT] Plows, was Re: Supervision

[John Slavin]

We had a 4 bottom John Deere plow when I was a kid.  It had the spring trip that has been mentioned.  I only remember it tripping one time.  I was plowing along with our Farmall 450 and I hit a buried stump or rock or something and I nearly went over the steering wheel because it nearly stopped the tractor in its tracks.  Then about the time I had gathered myself up from having a steering wheel firmly planted in my chest, the springs released the hitch, the hydraulic hoses popped out of the Pioneer couplings and the tractor jumped ahead.  With its sudden freedom, I nearly rolled off the back of the seat.  Needless to say, it got my attention.
