I've spoken to several area farmers that have found new sinkholes this spring. Some think it was the earthquake, some say it's caused by last years drought and the wet spring. I don't know, but I had this one fall in under me yesterday:eek: Not a good feeling. The only thing holding the tractor up was the drawbar and bushhog. Be careful out there mowing and working foodplots

Good advice my four wheeler went in one of those on memorial day I was lucky I flipped a couple of times and the 4 wheeler landed on top of me ( Kaw brute force 650) I tore a muscle in my chest/shoulder ( hope I can still shoot my bow in a few weeks) and had a few scratches on myself and a big bruise on my leg....I cant find a thing wrong with my four wheeler other than a couple of small scratches Thank god it was soft wet ground...

Glad you are okay Mike. Farming/operating equipment is tough enough without finding additional hazards in the field.
