Went together good. Had to file a little

Loading some corn and I haul to my place as my bin has runneth empty. Miss Little appears to be excited

I believe those are for 12 oz cans and ice. My neighbor has one just like it but it is red and white. The plastic case that is.

They may work for that. This one has manuals & whatever else Chase has thrown in over the years.

There is room for storage under the box also as well as the fuse panel.



It was probably a good idea but I always end up hitting my elbow on it when I turn to my left. After whacking my funny bone a couple times things came to a halt & that pos got chucked out the door.

Raked about 35 acres today & Rolled up another 175 for Chase today.

I think he has parked his mower for the time being. We need to haul off some hay so I can plant some beans.

Holy crap, I thought that was a cooler. Didn't realize they actually had a manual box in a tractor. I never had a tractor that required too much knowledge to operate either. I know some things are quite complex now. Computerized everything. Lol

My 7810 has the field office as well. It is filled with manuals and notebooks. I keep the baler books in it. Lots of little troubleshooting things and how to set stuff things and such in them. Good to look up an error code or something like that.

I don’t think coolers were a thing until the R series Deeres starting coming out. My 7630 has a drawer under the seat that seems colder than the rest of the tractor but I don’t know if it’s a “cooler” or not.

My cooler is a piece of tinfoil wrapped around a bologna sandwich in the bottom of an igloo playmate with a can of pop and a few little bags of cheese it’s. Can go all day on that !!

Pump and irrigator side are both plumbed and wired. Just need to connect to the transformer and we’ll be ready to rock !!

I should finish up beans today, the last 1-1/2 acres…

I got 56 acres in last night but ran out of beans & no one was around to bring me a couple bags so I will finish up this morning.

I rolled up 150 bales yesterday as well. Looking forward to not having any haying this weekend. I believe we have about 175 acres of first cutting of hay left.

Weather clowns are barking about rain tonight.

These sod beans will need a drink to get going.

 

[jakethesnake]

Those usually last for the cutter life. 9 gone out

Getting ready to dribble

Same end result

 

[jblnut]

Same end result

Yup. Takes a few tank fills to get all 800 acres covered

I thought about setting up my 90’ sprayer with drops but I’m usually still spraying when we need to start side dressing so it hasn’t happened yet. Sure do like the drops vs spreading dry or knifing in gas.

Found this picture from the first day I owned the tile plow. I was in a 165 Puma if memory serves correct. Pulling an 8” main 5’ deep in wet heavy black dirt. We screwed around for a few hours until I said enough and brought the dozer up. We then had the 9300 and 750 dozer pulling and got it in without issue. What a mess though !!

Those splitters you’re using there. Is the idea to get the juice closer to the stalk? See any benefits?

 

[Only the Tony]

New used equipment.

 

[jblnut]

Hay !!


Walter the Freightliner put in some road tractor time yesterday hauling hay. I can’t believe how well this worked. Going to have to use this more often to haul hay and straw !!

That’s a pretty good setup
