"Deere" Slide A Hit
On The Lake
Grown men who would never go down a water slide might be tempted to try out David Seifert’s slide. The giant slide rolls on Deere tires and is shaped like a tractor with a big tube slide at one end.
“It’s all scrap tubing,” says Seifert, who works in a machine shop and farms with his father near Pelican Rapids, Minn. “It probably has at least a ton of steel in it.”
He welded the 22 1/2-ft. “tractor” frame together and bolted the slide to the deck at about 11 ft. off the ground.
