Who Wants to See Some Iron?

[euclid]

my old 830 I finally got cleaned up and got the bush hog on. I did some extensive repairs over the winter and cleaned her up and she is running well.
Although I'm thinking of replacing the older lights and adding LED's so when I'm on public roads I can be seen better....

I lived down in the Banana Belt. Wayne grows corn, soybeans, wheat and rents some land out for tomato's.

But we also grow Carrots, Onions, Garlic, Sugarbeets, Spelt and now the new rage is Organic Crops..... but I keep telling kristin all that means is they were sprayed at night.

When I was back home in Ontario last week I actually got to do some farming. I spread some liquid manure and cultivated a couple hundred acres with the 35ft Triple K and my favourite old JD 4430. Some kid was running the 9400, so I took the mans tractor.... I even spent a half hour with the 8ft Triple K and a David Brown 990.

No Till planting is great and all, but wow does the ground get hard after awhile. Guys in our area have been doing it long enough without any deep tillage that the ground is getting hard so mouldboard plows have made a big comeback.

Yea so true about organic crops, most just spray a night! But today I was in heaven, I got to pull a 35 foot cultivator on some sludge ground! Around here, if we dont get a heavy freeze, then compaction can be a problem in some of the clay grounds, so we will rip ground with a no-till type ripper. The word molboard plow hurts my ears, and is not used around here, its way too impractial, but I think plowing would be fun to try sometime. Down here were running 4 tractors on our 2300 acre farm, with the biggest being a 4wd 8760!Ill post pics when my camera gets fixed!:drinkup
