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!
We live in a world so scared of upsetting others feelings that the idiots are allowed to rule. Goodbye intelligence.

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.
