Well it happened today. We were moving cows across the little road between pastures . I always park the RTV to block the road (no traffic) so the cows won't turn and that directs them on across the road to the other pasture. I am on foot at the rear of the machine. Well today,I leave Belle the bordercollie on the RTV. I call her to come to me and what does she do but step on the accelerator! Down the terrible ditch the RTV goes before she gets off the petal and the engine braking and a log save the RTV from a nasty nose dive into the jagged culvert. I have always left the RTV in gear so I can get and go but no longer! The RTV, 4 wd , the grips of the 589's and a tug from the ATV and she climbed right out. Everything appears ok. bordercollie
Doggman , those are some fine looking pups! Muleman, Belle said that is what happens when I make her stay on the floor, she just can't see over the steering wheel from there. Two Guns, come to find out she said she was trying to "cut off a wayward cow" and got too excited. It would not have happened had I not called to her from the road behind the RTV. Well not to worry, I love that pup and she always sticks with me or the RTV and I would never take away the riding privileges just the driving. Also, she is very faithful! and that is the best compliment I can give her even though I must admit she can't drive worth anything. I always carry a water source for her but she does have her a separate cup
