Question:
1. How come that tractor is red and not a Case?
My Dad always did Oats the same way, drill with a Brillion crusher pulled behind. It always did a great job. But it was a JD Drill and Massey Harris tractor, later followed by an Allis-Chalmers tractor.
Nice pictures.

The tractor is an early 5130 Maxxum. It has been a great tractor after we got all the electrical gremlins flushed out of the system with some home grown wiring.-----Loren

Paul I had no control over Case Co. when we were dealers, and I remained within the farm machinery business well after we closed our dealership, I sold what Case offered, and that was one of them.
I have no say up on the farm. One of the uncles died last Aug. and I am trying to fill his foot steps. He did all the plowing with a 7220 magnum and 6B Keverland plow which could not turn a decent furrow. (That is a story in itself. Wrong main frame for a 6B onland plow. The frame was built to fit at least 1-3 more bottoms on it. in order to center the line of draft).
The other uncle who is 86 and his son had never done any plowing so I filled the gap with my 931 and Case 8358 plow That they had abandoned in an old barn. I take pride in how well a field is plowed and there was no way I would plow with that Keverland plow the way it is set up. The draft beam pulls of the 5th bottom, not between the 3rd and 4th as a 6B plow should be set up.

Both the tractor and drill are far too modern for this site, but good pics and a good job. 
We had a day of sun and temps in the 60s, a few fields the hilltops started drying off the surface a little. Bottoms are all mud, and a little bit of snow bank here and there yet.
I can dream tho, of getting in a field. Someday.

way back in the olden days when i was a handsome wee ladd, we planted oats with 2 drop seeders. one held oats, the other dry fertilizer. i got to follow the seeder on either the w9 or the 706 pulling a 12 ft disk, spike tooth harrow and what we called a 3 gang roller, but most guys call em a cultipacker. we had a peat bog down in some bottom: ground and it would dry down like fluffy powder. boy could i get my rig buried in that stuff.

good thing you got them in yesterday. you sure wouldn't do it today.
I have heard the same thing about the wiring in cabless Maxxums.

Neighbor has two Maxiums both with cab and one 4wd. They are good tractors and nice to operate. He has had a few wiring issues as well and says whatever happens to the one happens to the other within 150 hours. The IH drill was one of the best made and had a better press wheel set up than the Deere. We have a Deere 8300 and pull a cultipacker behind ours as well. I hope to plant the last 5 acres of oats today and start chiseling the corn ground. Tom

Good job Bro, I got started drilling again yesterday at noon on the nose,, I had 30 plus acres done by 5 pm, would have had another ten or so but I lost a keeper out of a chain
I could have gotten mine in last week weatherwise if I had been done hauling manure on that ground. It's all on,but we had snow last Sunday and rain all week. Hopefully it'll dry out long enough to get them in this next week. It's awful light ground,so it won't take long to dry out.
