Love seeing your creations, no matter
where they are posted! Did you guys
survive the noreaster OK? We need the
moisture in our part of the world. The
Missouri river reservoirs are lower than I
think I've ever seen them, so I hope the
front range gets a big bunch of snow soon.

If posting my toys is annoying or not in the spirit of these threads, just say the word and I'll knock it off.


Fawteen keep postin' 'em!
 
Kind of a nothing-burger here. 8 or 10 inches, lots of wind and drifting, but no power outages and all cleared out Sunday morning.

Coldernell tho, -7 this morning, +7 now.

40's tomorrow! ???
 
Jon. Your fields look so much like mine that I feel I could walk onto your farm and know right where I was.

My dad's JD 45 from mid 1950's

Back then they called a combine a self propelled picker sheller.
 
It will get a field ready for planting in one pass. Even if I have done no fall tillage. That Sunflower disc has 24 inch blades and I raise the wheels all the way up and just let it sink in. Probably goes down 10-12 inches. I usually don't do any fall tillage after corn. After soybeans I rip if I can. If it's too wet I just leave it. I have a parabolic ripper and a straight shank ripper. Each will go down 17-18 inches. I haven't decided which one I like better. The straight shank ripper does have big coulters on it though. Helps handle trash.

You know a dedicated companion really humbles you......does me. I have a not too many generations from wild, Australian Dingo
female half breed I saved from the animal shelter about 12 years ago when she was roughly 6 months old. Not a Healer or Border
Collie but a tight, high strung, companion. Wish I would have had her when I was younger and working cattle. The rumor that they
need attention is true.

I keep her in a 40'x 40' pen with a upper class dog house with porch I built for her and she has her trails around the perimeter and in
an X pattern across the center, follows them regularly. I give her a Milk Bone dog biscuit and she won't eat it immediately. She goes
and buries it somewhere in the pen to be dug up at a later date. What's funny is watching her go around the pen with it in her mouth
trying to figure out where she is going to bury it. I have to love on her before feeding so that she will eat otherwise she apparently
thinks I'm mad at her and pouts!!!!!
 
I pull a packer behind my disk and it sure does a neat job like you I let it sink to the spools and go. I really like those rippers especially the brillon I think I could pull that . I need to find a bigger ripper that is heavy enough to go in hard ground .

I had a JD 95 diesel with a 24' header I restored....one hydraulic cylinder at a time, and later upgraded to MF 760 with cab and AC, also with 24' header. I'll say that getting the non-corn type crop in with those machines was the most rewarding of my farming experiences. Just something about it. A field full of hay rolls is rewarding but not the same.
 
Last fall I took a different approach to taking combine pictures. I took pictures from behind where the action is. The pictures are boring but I am interested in the kind of job the combine is doing rather than pictures of shiny sheetmetal.
