Hello! As an essay from Mrs.Fish I will write about this:
Writing Assignment: Write one paragraph on the following topic: If you could go back in time, where would you go?
I’d go back in time to 1892 because that is the year the first tractor was invented. And I would help the man named John Froelich design it and bring blueprints on how to make a three point hitch, PTO, and how to make hydraulics. I’d aso teach him how to be safe around PTO equipment as it is very dangerous. A long time ago when I was not born our neighbors used there PTO run forage harvester to sharpen haybine blades to cut hay then one they as they were doing that our neighbors dad got his hand caught in the forage harvester…. So the sun had to get a flame torch to melt the PTO shaft before it took his whole arm or worse. The reason he could not turn of the PTO straight on the tractor is because if he did it would take a minute to slow down and turn of which is enough time to take his dad’s arm. Once the shaft was meled apart the son got his dad’s hand out and his skin was ruffled up and some of it was missing but the worst part was… He lost two of his fingers. But luckily he lived a long life after that sadly he passed away a few years ago so I never really met him.
I’d also show John how to make implements like Discbines and seed drills to speed up work. I’d then show him how to make combines to speed up harvest.
Here is another PTO accident story my pepere told me. Once a man close to where he live was crossing over a PTO while the PTO was in action and his pants got caught and well he broke his shoulder and dinky.
So the reason I am telling you guys these stories is because being a farmer is very dangerous and if you ever want to be a Farmer you have to be very careful and never get off your tractor while the PTO is running.
Il give two more stories that happened in my family. Once while my Uncle Jerry was fixing his combine head it dropped and luckily he only broke his leg pretty bad but it could of been worse. I heard on the news once a mans legs got paralyzed and his brother was killed while fixing a combine head.
Once my Pepere was working on his dad’s farm and he did not put the park brake on his tractor and so it rolled down the hill and into the bush luckily there was a few scratches and no one was hurt. The funny part of this story is his dad never figured it out and he still doesn’t know about it today!
And that’s why you must be careful on the farm.
And this is the end for this essay!
