Finished last night around 10:30. 54 acres contract oats. A bit of "retro farming"; I used the MH 44 special that I had purchased from the original owner last fall. Has about 7000 hours on the clock, in original condition; rolled about 12 hours on it yesterday and never missed a beat. Pulled my 16 run 510 International drill that my dad bought new in 1977. It has sowed about 100 acres every year since then. Guess both have paid for themselves.
As to how I am doing, well sore arms from wrestling the wheel for 12 hours and stiff knees from facing the 25 mph wind all day in 6 degree weather makes me appreciate the Sound-Gard body on the big Deere a whole lot more!
I'll try to post some pics later.
