She said she and her husband Phil are in need of a sprayer for their tractor--something that will provide foliar feed for their plants and trees.
I asked her for a few more specs: How big should it be (capacity)? Did they want something they could drag behind or
She answered all my questions, but I realized I still didn't know exactly what kind of tractor they own. But I thought I knew how to find out, without bugging Amy.
I thought I had seen a photo of their tractor recently on her blog. So I looked and found the following:

I decided to Google new holland 120 and see what I found.
Oh! I was surprised.
I'm not sure what motivated me to click on the YouTube link, but I did.

I'm talking about the audience as well who stood their ground as he made tracks toward them.)
And then this, which is an actual accident:
And then a whole bunch of tractor accidents. I mean nasty ones!
You wonder how some of these kinds of things can occur! What was the person doing when he got himself into some of these situations?
I guess the point is: Be careful out there. Even monster farm equipment is far from invincible!
