Moreauville LA
There was an accident near here about 2 weeks ago. NEW JD 6R pulling a nurse tank from Helena Fertilizer. Of coarse the factory pin doesn't fit. They put a 7/8" red handle pin, like we all use, with a clip

Going down the highway at 19.6 mph, it "came unhooked" and killed an elderly woman getting her mail

The farmer and Helena are in it. No safety chains. And whatever else. Helena has deep pockets and the farm family's pockets are almost as deep.


Buy a new pin
