Crush trauma. Some guys on other threads don’t like the site of blood etc so I guess if you don’t like it don’t look. That tray went over center View attachment 378077View attachment 378078View attachment 378080View attachment 378080View attachment 378079

What MM said, I'll second the thought.

Mark, whatever your doing keep it up, this looks remarkable considering where it started.

Healing great but therapy is killing me
Pain all the time now
They tell me that my nerves are waking up so I’m feeling the pain where before I wasn’t

That makes sense really.

Does the Indian Runner Duck eat read slugs?



But!!!
Careful with full grown mature slugs.
Aparently the Runner Duck being a food junkie will eat them but can choke if the slug is too big and gets stuck in the ducks thin throat.
General concensus is - cut big slugs in half before allowing Your Runner Ducks to eat them.

Couple of the old man’s chickens eat slugs. Doesn’t seem like they all like them .

Watched one gag a pretty big one down.

 

[ajschainsaws]

Yes it does

you where lucky there but it’s healing pretty good and looking a lot healthier now
hopefully the pain will ease once it’s knitted together underneath

I just popped in to this thread and saw Mark's pics. Man o man! I'm glad you're healing up well. Keep up with that rehab!

On another note, the clay here is drying out, and the hay's growing well. I had a power shuttle failure on the Massey, and it's at a dealership in VT waiting on guidance from Agco. It's most likely a sensor issue, but I couldn't track down which one. Electronic stuff does not interest me, so therefore I get frustrated and bored with it quickly. I wasn't going to start throwing expensive parts at it, so I gave in. I need it soon to replant one 8-acre piece of field.

I've been using the 2640 to clear blackberry briars and sumac trees. Pushed out several maples too. Got a couple or three acres back.

Did a test plot to see @JimBear I know this corn can handle high populations. Maybe 6-7 acres under irrigation. All the rest at 29,000

Moves the seed about exactly 1 inch closer together. Still no word on my magnum. Went back to my old school maps I used to draw to keep an eye on varieties and populations

Took a picture of the drop just because it’s beautiful. Finger pickup w precision brushes

That’s a lot of chicken scratches. Lol.

I did that last year with my old Mitsubishi excavator. It's amazing how rapidly they close in on the fields. Gotta dig and get those sumac root tentacles up and out.
