Just watched the same exact tractor sell at an estate auction a few hours ago. $5700.00

So I did ok?

 

[Nutball]

I woulda paid $3500 if you gave me a chance, that's a nice tractor.

 

[exSW]

So I did ok?

As long as it keeps running. I mean how long does it take to get 3500 worth of use out of a tractor?

Three years ago this 12 acre field was nothing but a big weed patch. Over my head with sumac scrub and multi floral rose. Yeah....it has a lot of sage grass yet, but it also has some damn nice grass. After I get it cleared off, I'll pour the lime to it. Maybe that will help with the sage.



Most of this is red top grass. Old school forage.



Thick stuff here. Might never get dry enough.

 

[Nutball]

Sage grass, I was wondering what that was. A friend of mine has an infestation of that. It sounds like a ton of time and money to eventually get rid of on hundreds of acres.

 

[amberg]

Ain't fixed yet. I'd rather get another tractor to use instead of pressuring them.

I'm ok with them taking their time.

Smart move!

 

[amberg]

So I did ok?

Yes!!

This morning's view of the one small field that we managed to get baled yesterday. Heavy dew on right now, but it's burning off fast.
