2016 photo review #1

I am starting a bit sooner on my "year in review" series my year started Early this year, I was working ground the 23rd of February,, that is as early as I ever know of here,, throughout this year we have been in the area that got little moisture,, so far we have gotten less than half our "normal" of 14" H20 and that includes snow. Others have it worse than me for sure as I did get almost 1/3 of normal production on my farm,, I feel this was greatly due to me getting the spring grain in so early it was able to use all of what moisture little we got,, anyway enough of my blabbering and on with the pics

1st ones start out at the last days of Jan where I was installing the new lube pump on this 1470
next a couple of one of the few snows we had,, the 580CK out cleaning it off the lots I do, then a few of the VA at work in my yard

then the first dirt moved on the 12th of Feb,, I had to reshape a crossing to make it safer for my 87 yearold Uncle to cross the 450 took care of it with ease
after the dirt work I used the VA and G-16 blade to dress up the roads a bit
I was offered a great deal on a 74 one owner 970,,, I took the deal
then it was time to start working some hay fields with the 1470 and WC
next is the 350 getting ready to run the hyd auger to load out seed Barley
I put the new axle in the "SA" disc and worked some ground next
quick a/c charge on the 1070 and then to harrowing hay ground
I jumped form unit to unit and was working ground with the 1470 and WWC 37 for spring grain planting
that's it for today

I see I posted the old lube pump not the new one I installed sorry

You have some nice toys.

Thanks for sharing. I really like your posts.

Good pics Tom, they remind us again how fast another season has passed. Soon winter will be here and we will be looking forward to spring planting. The picture of the 350 using the hydraulics gives me a idea. I am going to hook the log splitter to the 450, bet that will run the hyd's faster than the 5 hp briggs on it. Rod.

it will Rod, I run this auger Fast at just above a idle 25 gpm or so

Tom, It is great to see the pictures in review, An your explanation of what is happening. Wish we had more case equipment around here to buy, like a off set disc, but the new storage building had to come first. Jerry from Ohio
