Thread: We are up and running.

That looks just like what I have been doing. A cloud of dust so bad You can't even tell what your doing yourself. What are You pulling there in the pic? or are You mowing?CF

we are tilling up the ground to put the garden in this is the second garden we have one in the front of the place we got it all planet today and watered-down I think we have about a half a acre total and garden very dry and very warm here in the 80s and 90s we haven't had any rain for quite a while courses as high desert country and we don't get much rain through the summer months matter-of-fact we don't get much rain at all the year round matzo sagebrush around here in the course of thousands rocks I bet you got all your crops and now in they should be, not for you how do you arrogate do you use circle irrigation or do you lay pipeline.

Bob, That is a good looking John Deere. I have one myself but it is only a 42" model. I did train it to cut the grass around one of my private fishing holes that I go to. Mostly it sits in the shed waiting for me to cut my 1/4 acre so I can go fishing the next day. I guess it is a much needed fishing accessory. The sooner I get the grass cut, the more time I have to play with my fishing preparations (Making baits or fixing stuff in the tackle box.)

No irrigation. We are all dry land crops. Finished planting soybeans Saturday Night. Got a couple weeks now and will be picking winter wheat (Soft red winter wheat). Here are a couple of my tractors from earlier this spring.





big tractor is 300 hp pulling 30' disk harrow. It does not know it is behind it. Could go bigger. The second pic is a 275 hp with a 30' field cultivator. The cultivator could be bigger too.CF

your big tractor is the size of most tractors here unfortunately I do not need a big tractor because I do not do a lot of cultivating and big fields and I don't do anything hey work so I have a little guy that I do most of my garden stuff with I used to to have a 36 horse for a while for about 14 years when I moved down to the valley I sold it wish I had it back but I satisfied with a little 26 horse for what I do around the house here. most of the crops here are all irrigated except for down in Pennington where they raise a lot of dry land farming but around here where I live it's all irrigated mostly hey.

Count that as a blessing Bob. You could have a transmission repair bill coming for one of the big ones like I do. Sounds like a burnt up clutch pack in the power shift transmission. Its in an older tractor that looks like the tractor in the bottom pic but with small front tires. We keep our stuff up and it looks just as good as the rest of the tractors. Can't complain about the transmission. The tractor has over 10000 hours on it. All the years we grew cotton finally took its toll as that is what put most of the hours on them. BUT when I get that repair bill, I would be glad to be ding that to that little JD You have instead of this tractor. Clutch pack is gonna be 3 grand right by itself. It will be a 5 or 6 thousand dollar job I bet.CF
