Readers Respond To Exploding Toolbar Story TOOLBARS Toolbars 23-3-9 Last issue's editorial, "Exploding Toolbars: Truth or Hoax", stated that some bars are filled with metal punchings for ballast and that mix with water to somehow form hydrogen gas.
A leading manufacturer of tillage equipment stated that he could not understand how water got inside a sealed frame, unless a weld were cracked. I feel he is wrong.
