There's a few videos on youtube.com about farming paras and quads. One shows how the guy gets into his combine... Mad respect to those that can.

I'm still involved in farming as helping out when needed - but then I was never a hugely active with machinery and such before the accident so it's been easy..

Respect to those who get full on down and dirty with it though!

i still run equipment and love it i get in the middle of everything as much as i can
its different but who cares as long as i can get dirty and help theres no better place to be
than in the cab of a tractor to collect your thoughts

Farming must be the ultimate challenge for SCI. They are a breed apart and alas I'm not among them. But where, farmingquad, in the world are you farming? Your profile does not give a country. And what type of farming are you involved in?

I grew up on a dairy farm but left after my injury to go to college, etc. However, I have planted some fruit trees in my hackyard and continue to grow some herbs.

I grew up on a farm too and actually ran what was left of the place or a couple of years when my dad and mom moved into the city. I like the experience but no place for a partial quad in a manual chair. There are some folk here in Northern Utah who are farming with A.T.

I am a dairy farmer in Ontario Canada. My accident was May 25th. I havn't been back in the barn yet but I am going to do everything I can once I get back there. Thanks again for the pics of the tractor lift farmingquad.
