Wednesday, June 27. 2012Russell Gone Wrong - June, 2012 Russell Wreck Walter Parks has generously shared this dramatic photo of a wreck for a Russell plow that happened in Ruso, North Dakota. It must have been quite a ride, and a tribute to the design and construction of the plow that there was not more damage apparent. As we have said before, the operator of a Russell Plow had to have a strong backbone and steel himself for any mishap. And work often in an environment of sub zero temperatures. Gee, that is a lot of snow! Which is of course the reason for posting this now with our area in another heat wave, could be 100 F plus tomorrow. |
