   Three years ago, my brother started to run anhydrous on a cold damp evening like this. The high pressure hose broke between quick disconect and regulator.It was a 3point and belong to him. He never made it out of tractor. After crossihg section line road 14 times, law enforcement called about 3 am, and said the tractor had hit a tree and had stoped with lights still on. Took paint from under side of tractor as well as his life. Hose was 10 years old. Should have changed 5 years before.It is now the season, PLEASE check your hoses!

	Very sorry for your loss. Thanks for looking out for us, that's good advice. My dad used to apply anhydrous and it always scared me a bit when I was a kid.

	My uncle had a very close call a few years ago. He broke a hose, thought he had his 7080 in park but didnt and it kept going so he went back in to it to stop it. He layed in the field for a while. After he got his breath and could see again he was ok. Another local farmer had a hose blow near a school, they evacuated the school and every house and business around it. Its some bad stuff, I dont use it.
