One day I was sitting at RR crossing with my truck. I was pulling a 48’ flatbed that day and just finished off-loading. The lights and boards were down right in front of me. When the lights went out and the boards lifted, I made my way across. I kinda watched the train leave as I crossed. Suddenly, the bell and lights start flashing again!! The crossing boards came down on my trailer and danced their way down my flatbed! WTH is going on!! I just cleared the track and a train coming the other track zoomed by! Yeah, the ol’ heart was zinging as fast as that train was going! Look both ways on a double track.😳😎 Glad Sarah made it!

What happened to Sarah is a serious danger to tractors. When I was a kid, the neighbors son was killed by a train when crossing tracks with no signals. Just 5 years ago, a friend’s father was killed when his auger got hit by the train and turned over the tractor. Nothing to laugh at or make light of. The consequences are very, very high.

400gallons of fuel is about 1,781 litres and at roughly £0.80p per litre here in the UK that would cost roughly £1,424.00 or $1,790 approximately. Breakdowns add even more to the costs of farming that the anti farming brigade fail to understand. A close call with train, glad she made across because that would have been quite a disaster.

Summer of 83, Lunchtime. I hop in the farm truck and head to town, I'm driving down a loose gravel road playing with the radio. There's a railroad crossing with no lights or arms 20 feet in front of me, I hear the train horn I look up and the train is right there, I lock up the brakes and realize I'm not able to stop in time so I stomped on the gas, As I was crossing the tracks I looked at the train, the headlight was huge. I braced for impact but that old Dodge saved my life. Don't drive distracted.

I've barely noticed/remembered that crossing with the gates until I saw this clip. I guess you need an experience like Sarah's to make a lasting impression, but the house and trail rang the memory bell. The natural reaction when those lights flash and bells ring is to slow down and look for the danger that is coming at you, then "OH s***, guess I best get out of here!" Seems like your tractors put on more road miles than field miles sometimes. it must often take more planning to get to the field than it does to plan crop rotations with narrow, low clearances, .

The youtuber Ollyblogs Agricontracting in the UK has a crossing between fields which are relatively common here that you have to call on the phone there give the number crossing the operator then confirms it is safe to cross or not. A couple of years ago I believe he called they said it was safe to cross and he nearly got hit as they thought he was at a different crossing. He came up with a means to confirm it then spent over an hour trying to get the operator to actually follow the procedure.

Hey there Andy and Crew, I hope this finds you all well and good. Andy, I gotta tell you that I'm really concerned about the amount of traffic on your fields, and that includes your tillage traffic, which can easily exceed any potential benefits. Every piece of equipment in the field today, has an axle weight that is multiple times heavier than anything used 50 years ago, when we first heard about soil compaction, and hardpan, caused from decades of plowing at the same depth, turning and loosening the soil, without any idea about the long-term effects. If I could find the time, I would love to come up with a couple of students from Virginia Tech (to do the digging) and do a soil compaction analysis on one of your corn fields, to see exactly what kind of a growing environment you have prepared for your plants root system. On a Safety note, why do you always have your right hand, fender mounted, wide width, signal/caution light swung in, which is the opposite of where it should be when traveling on the road? Your Green tractors would not only look better with Green Tillage tools behind them, you wouldn't be spending all of your time working on them. The John Deere Company we know today, was born from the first self-cleaning steel plow nearly 200 years ago, and they still make quality, cutting-edge Tillage equipment today. I hope y'all have a good one my friend! "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌 👍 🇺🇲

Years ago in my area a farmer who had train tracks across the driveway, no lights, came down the driveway with a tractor and 2 gravity wagons loaded with corn. Didnt notice the train coming until the tractor was on the tracks. Started to back up and the train cut the front half of the tractor off at the cab. There he sat with his 4 year old girl in the cab watching the train go by inches ahead. Fortunately they weren't seriously injured.
