Fall work (lots of pictures)

Finished combining corn a week or so ago, averaged around 100 at 15-17%, ran short on water, or it would have done better. 7700 on 4 row 30" head, tight fit, but it worked fine. Binned some corn rest went to the elevator. Lot of bagged corn this year in the fields. Blading township roads for the final time this year. Blowing snow out of the yard tonight.

Nice pic's , well except for the snow picture at the end. Yuck!!! lol. Do I see 2 under cab/side rail fuel tanks on the 66 turbo with the auger ? Good idea, how well does this work ?? Bruce

Wish I had that blade. Live on a county road but blade operator is very short on experience. Road is wash board for the whole mile. Where you at... looks like E SD snow...have to put my blower on this morning.

Nice pics. Just finished installing a sluice pipe yesterday on a woods road that had to be done before sugaring next year. That was the last of the "must do" projects for the year. The rest are "would be nice to get done" before it freezes up, but aren't critical.

Yes, one tank on each side, they hold around 30 gallons each. They were on there when I bought the tractor, it has an external electric fuel pump with flip switch in the cab, pumps fuel into the tractors main tank. Tanks are hooked together underneath the tractor with an 1" hose, so you can fill on either side and they both fill. Small vent hole in main tank cap squirts fuel out if you forget to shut it off. They need to come off though so I can put loader mounts on to use for spare loader tractor.

NC south Dakota, blade is made by double B manufacturing out of benson, MN. Been a good blade, got it around 15 years ago. Had local machine shop replate the moldboard as it was wearing through, but it does have around 8000 miles of township road blading on it. We did bend up the blade the first year we had it. Had it hooked to a 4wd tractor rebuilding a section line and hooked a rock. After that we only use a 2wd tractor on it and have had no problems. We added an additional foot to each side, so moldboard is 16' instead of factory 14'. Best way to get rid of the washboard is blade in both sides after a 1/2 in of rain. You need to get some dirt mixed in with the gravel, but on dry years and a lot of light (mostly cars), fast speed traffic the washboard will be harder to fight. I have nothing against dodge pickups, but for some reason, I have noticed the roads where residents drive mainly dodge pickups the roads seem to more washboard prone, must be something with the suspension, just something I have noticed over the years. Also, I have noticed, every one has an opinion on how a road should be bladed, some like a crown, some like a flat road, some like a lot of gravel on the crown, some want it shaved smooth, ask 10 people how a road should be bladed and you will get 10 different answers, LOL. I try to keep a gentle crown and thin layer of loose gravel over the whole road, that's my opinion.
