As groups of friends and families flock to the nearest beach to bask in the beautiful weather we are having, we tend to forget about the poor craytors working around the clock cutting silage.

With some spending at least 100+ in tractors/fields in the sweltering heat, the job can somewhat take its toll.

But whatever the weather, 92-year-old farmer from Nebraska has found a way to make the task a hand a lot easier for himself.

Jim Schippert has designed and built a motorized lift to help him up into this cab during harvest season.

His proud grandson, Jimmy uploaded a video of the contraption in action earlier this month and so far, it’s been watched over 360K times.
