Wardner: It probably wasn't much fun. I never had a corn picker, but always figured from seat of combine that corn head could be quite cruel on one's body. Back about 2001, JD Humm told us a story about a guy in KS breaking an axle on one of the 100+ hp Farmalls, in road gear. The calcium filled tire ran over the operator and killed him. I broke one on 300 but it didn't twist right off. One of my operators had one break on John Deere, but he was in a ROPS cab. He was in working gears in field, and when he got stopped, wheel was taking weight of tractor wedged between cab and ground, standing almost upright. We figured that one would have been lethal, had it not been for the cab. We perhaps should be quite vigilant re the axles on some of these older open station row crop tractors. Some of those old tractors have seen some heavy shock loads in their day. In the case of my Deere it was 60% old break, old enough it was rusted.
