Old iron on the job everday!

While up in the North Woods or is that Nawth Woods of NH ran across this rig earning its keep day after day. They claim the "Jacob's Ladder" part of the Mt. Washington grade is 37%. Folks that is steep. Just sharing some other old iron pics. More to follow when I rtn to FL.

PS - Les, I will still be in touch!

You're absolutely right about that grade on Mt. Washington! Have you seen the wheat fields on the hills of the Palouse in southeast Washington State? I was told, by a couple of different wheat farmers, that those hills are 50% grades.

Hillside combines and triple-wheel 4WD tractors are the norm. I was also told that not many tractors turn over, but some have been known to slide down the hills.

Are you from that area? Do you know what is considered a "good" yield of wheat there? Not a "bumper crop" yield or a "poor" yield...just a good, average yield.

I heard some numbers from the guys I talked to that sounded pretty outstanding to me...like 90 bushels or more.

Thanks,

Stan
