Having fun on the weekend

• Stuck here

I finally did have to go out there with the 2150 and get it out, but it was stuck over 10 miles from where the tractor was sitting, sooooo after a long late night ride on the tractor..... . I was really hoping the blue oval could pull it out, but it didnt even move it.

Suppose to get real cold here by Wed, so Im hoping it all will freeze and we can run on frozen ground. Oh the fun..... .

You may be able to plant you 550 again this spring if you dont watch out. Maybe it will grow up to be a bigger tractor if you keep planting it????? :>)

Not wanting to do anymore 550 planting :) Checked back on that 1950 and still no response. My offer on the White 2-105 went unanswered. Must have insulted him I guess. Jack over in Tallahassee has a couple of bigger Olivers I want to go over and look at.

A 1650 WFE Dsl would be just about right but until I find one I will just keep adding to the tractor fund. That little AC G is for the boys as last yr. they plowed more under than they cultivated. I got a real good deal on that rig - only $400 for it and the implements.

Will be coming your way in late July 2005 with my BSA Troop for Nat'l Scout Jamboree at Ft. AP Hill. I would like to stop over for and see you on the way up and on the way back.

PS - just joking about that Blue Oval :)

I know you have been looking for a while for a bigger tractor, just take your time, the perfect one is out there somewhere.

And dont joke about the blue ovals, we have 4 big oval diesel pickups. I know, I know, everyone thinks I should be running a ram with the Cummins engine in them, but there is nothing wrong with that big V-8 Powerstroke. I just got a new one about 6 months ago to pull my trailers with. I picked up a 2000 Ford F-350 dually diesel to go along with my 91 green ford you saw in the picture. The green one has 160K on it and still doing good, just not very reliable anymore.

C ya in the weeds.....

I have never seen a mounted chopper, how does that work?? I bet that was a real bear having to chop and being pulled at the same time, I cant imagine.

I tell you, we have sunk tractors and cut ruts in fields that it will take years to repair. I was baling some fodder last thursday and the round baler was cutting in 1 to 2 inches everywhere in the field. Its a wonder we didnt get a tractor hung up in the field we were baling in.

As soon as it drys out the 2150 and the DMI ripper have a lot of soil compaction to remove....

We still have about 30+ acres to go and the combine is back in the field this morning running agenst the coming rain.

This year it was a real wet spring and a lot of corn did not get planted until late may or even june, we were trying to run short season corn and then the rain just never quit. The hurricane did have some impact on trying to get corn off but that was mostly during chopping time.

The rain just has not let off enough to get the heavy equipment in the fields and then when we do it tries to sink. Just been a real frustrating year to try to get crops done. I hope 2004 is a little better. Corse we have to get 2003's crops finished first :>) Only have 40 more acres to go, so we "might" get done this week.

Where are you at Steve??

Oh well, last year we couldnt get any rain and everything died, so I guess we have to take what we get and just keep going.

Glad to hear Im not the only one getting stuck....
