Here’s the old girl, I think he said it was from the 40’s. Once I get some hay dried down I’ll hook a rake up to it and go to work.

Sometimes I think cows are too.

Cow’s taste better at least.

But I agree that it’s not a good way to get rich or even turn a profit unless you can sell directly to customers.

Yep. I do it for the flavor. They’re more work than they’re worth to me but honestly I like looking at em. Enough I’ll probably always have some around. Grew up with em.

I talked to my neighbor today. He said those would pull 3 bottom plows on basically any kind of ground. He had a lot of love for farmalls. He was headed to a show with his h tomorrow and then 4th of July. I should snag a picture. Y’all might like her. She’s clean.

I just about caught up to the combine with the planter. Should be caught up to her in the morning. Ran out of beans around 8. Didn’t feel like filling up. I’ll do it after the dew burns off.

Attempt 2 of the morning. Couldn’t get em in the ground early. Fog made straw super tough

 

[jakethesnake]

Hair pin city. Most of em in the ground. Think I’m a send her.

Got this field baled up today, took the picture Friday, made 7 wagons of squares and it’s all really nice 75/25 orchard grass/timothy. Plus we got about 40 rounds out two other fields so I’m very pleased. Got more 10-15 acre fields to do but we’re almost done with the good stuff.

Someone got mad and hammer fisted the dash ??

 

[karrl]

Lol second gen dodge problems, Chrysler made those dashes out of paper mache and egg shells. Jake’s dash isn’t too bad, the po of my Dodge put a nice cover over mine. Can’t hardly tell until you see the glue that ran out haha

Funny story. I was hauling fuel. Jamming to tunes tapped the dash and it splintered like an egg. Yeah it’s a dodge thing. She’s a 94. 209000. Original everything. Been a good truck. We just dolly fuel in it. Figure I’ll keep running it till something expensive happens

Hell sounds like she’s probably paid for herself by now, I’d run it. I need a good dedicated farm /woods truck myself

It’s got 4 different sized tires on it. It’s just a work beater. My uncle bought it new. She’s not much now. But it still goes

Just getting started, should have a large garden in by fall. Had chickens for the past 4 years and just increased the flock ( currently egg layer ) but plan for some free range meat birds soon. I have 6 acres ( purchased a year ago ) have morrels and plan to start hunting the land. Trying to convert to self sustained homestead.
