A few years ago I was cutting hay with my JD 2130 and my International 1190 haybine. I hit an ant hill on some other mound of dirt and plugged the knife, so I backed up a few feet and shut the tractor off to unplug. I sat down in the grass to pull the sod out of the haybine when suddenly I got a really sharp pain in my left testicle. I looked down and I was being stung by a big wasp or bee of some kind. I tried to kill the wasp without inflicting permanent damage on my "equipment" and eventually got the wasp off me, it likely was only one or two seconds but seemed much longer. I still laugh whenever I think of myself hitting myself in the groin, starting out with full force and then holding back at the last instant to keep from squaring myself. If I remember right I didn't cut hay anymore that day, instead I went to the house and sat on an icepack. Whenever I sit down to unplug my haybine now, I always check to see what I'm sitting on.
