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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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
Mike you have a beautiful place there yes I have also a John Deere 42 inch regular writing more besides a John Deere tractor which is at 26 horse four-wheel-drive which we can use two different attachments for cutting grass I sure love your house you have a beautiful place. I cut over 2 acres of grass.Quote:

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.CFQuote:
