God is so good!
Some of you might remember, a local farmer let's me hunt some of his land. As a way of saying thank you, I offer him 3 or 4 days per year of labor. Last year, he had me mow fields for him. A huge John Deer Swather with a 15 foot wide cutting head. Talk about fun (he gave me about about 180 acres to hunt last year).
Here is the Swather after I parked it.
This year, after mowing the first day, the farmer asked if I would run the disc for him!  Only in my REM sleep 4D dreams could I ever get to drive Bohemeth tractor like this. 29 foot wide disc pulled by 8 wheel drive, 500 hp tractor.
My little nephew loves tractor, so I had his daddy bring him out for a photo op and ride. He loved it!
Here is he and Uncle Plink sitting in the wheel.
I completed 86 acres Saturday and cross disc 30 acres more. I felt like Tim the Tool man on steroid toys. 
Now the good news. This land I worked is 448 acres. 250 will be in soy bean and the rest is brushy thickets and hardwood ridges. The farmer told me I get exclusive deer & turkey rights to this entire farm! Glory be to God, He is so good!

Sweet deal! Getting to run that kind of equipment is just as much fun as the hunting...

Did the farmer look at you funny when you asked him to take your pic while driving the tractor ?

That's awesome! I always would rather help each other out than let money change hands. It goes to show that he wasn't in it for the money and you weren't wholeheartedly in it for the hunting.

425 HP... Had to mess with you.
When you hook something to it and the black smoke pours, that's when you realize just how much power you are in control of.
