Paul: Jim is right, our parents would go to jail today and we would have become orphans. Shame how progress has caused kids not to learn anything. I remember the first time I let my little brother drive the Cub home from the field, with me and another brother standing on the drawbar. When he got in the yard he forgot how to stop and went right over the firewood pile. (about 3 to 4 feet deep) He left my brother and I sitting in the middle of the wood pile and he remembered how to stop on the other side. Dad had just taken his boots off on his way going in for lunch. He came running in his sock feet and his first words,"Did you guy learn anything." I also remember in 1980 letting my 12 year old daughter, start away from the headland with 1066 ROPS cab and duals, pulling a twenty foot tandem disk. At about 80 lbs she didn't look very big in there. She had gone with me before and had driven some before that. When night fall came she had disked 100 acres, and everyone in community that saw her were horrified. But you know something, she was a whole lot safer in that cab and better prepared than the earlier generation had been on the Cub. She later hit me up one day to give her 25 cents per bale to move round bales from field with skid steer loader. I thought she just meant the 20 acres ajacant to the barn. I was haymaking at another farm. Two days later I learned she talked her mother into letting her brother (3 years younger) run the second skid steer, and they were pulling wagons behind the skid steers. I also now owed them $150. They were catching on fast.
