That reminds me of my brother moving round bales
He was picking up bales with a front end loader and putting them on the truck
One bale he picked up and was in the process of putting it on the second layer so the bale was virtually above the tractor when a brown stuck his head out and decided to decamp the moving bale
The result being the snake landing just in front of the steering wheel of the tractor and brother jumping off the tractor in rapid style
AND my favourite farm blitz story of my fathers
My father needed to move the blitz boring plant to a new site
He jumped in the old girl and set about starting the old girl
Once he got it going chucked it in gear and headed off down the track
About then he looked over to the passenger seat in time to see a brown snake coming out from under the seat heading to the gearshift
A split second later my father decamped with the blitz still motoring down the track with a snake at the controls
