2016 photo review # 3

Next set starts out with the 444 plowing and tilling part of the shelter belt that had grown back to grass for 10 years or so, then one of my 222's is on blade duty most of the time,, this spring was not different she was putting down new soil in the garden, the 200B was hooked to the scraper to haul up a bit more new soil, we had a few days with a bit of snow then it was time to get after the job of taking out more of the temporary fence the County had built as I needed the steel posts for the new 3/4 mile of barb wire fence I was installing so on went the JET wire roller on the VA and started rolling wire,, I have four acres or so of grass I try to keep mowed around the builds,, the 195 was on duty much of this year for that job, she also handles towing the augers when I need to, my neighbor had a "New" addition this Spring as well,, Mom is called Zooey and Daughter is Princess both spoiled rotten but pretty good girls just the same other than Princess's habit of laying down by the fence and getting up on the OTHER Side like in the pic, I was planting potatoes that day as well, I like the Yukon Golds I still have about 2 rows about 30 feet long to dig,, I will be trying to get that done today, after the tater planting we got a few inches of wet snow,, so I was in the shop a couple days,, the 195 got new seat cushions and a clean and polish. the seat frame was also rebuilt, stripped and repainted. Then a pic of the Barley I had rotary-hoed back a few pics, 970 with the IH springtooth on it,, the 1070 handles it better but she will pull it in 3-2 fine, couple field shots, then the 444 was hooked to the Hyrd-Cutter and some tall growth was taken down, the 530 was hooked all summer to the IH shredder in this pic I was cutting the area where I was installing the new boundary fence, the 580CK was used to pull the old posts,carry them to the job and push them in the ground, took about three hrs to pull and then install in the new fence, the next day the 1470 and I worked 75 acres then I jumped back on the 200B and was filling in some two tracks where they had washed pretty deep in the pasture roads,, all for now

Great pictures. Dick

A ranch / farm sure can keep a person busy. Thanks for the pictures I enjoy them. Steve

Dang, you have some neat toys.......

Tom, At first glance I thought you were planting rocks in your garden (pic #14) and I'm thinking I never knew a farmer that needed more rocks. But then I figured out that they were taters. Much better. LOL Always like your pictures. Your country reminds me of visiting my sister when she lived in Montana - rode horses up in the mountains helping round up cattle for one of the cattlemen in the church they pastored. Best vacation I ever had. ADB
