The person running the first tractor you will see in this video apparently does not totally understand the concept, but the operator on the other tractor has nerves of steel.
The information on Live Leak said it happened July 9 in Weld County, Colorado.

Well we are getting next gen air tankers, so this must be the new next gen tractor plow. All jokes aside im pretty sure that did help stop that fire.

Anchor flank and pinch baby! Great video, as a farmer myself I especially loved it. We always have quite a few discs and large water tanks show up when we have a fire in farm country. A disc and a road patrol are kings in my area.

You are right Bill, the guy in the first tractor is probably going to get a reminder to stay out of the black from someone! Hopefully a friendly reminder.

[[gasp]] I grew up on a farm in Illinois and was driving tractors at age ten. That’s just entirely too funny. Nerves of steel, Bill? More like gi-normous balls of farmer. It might even be a CHICK driving the tractor. [tries not to pass out laughing]
