Oldest son's ground preparation

We have thankfully been getting some nice showers of rain recently. Oldest son had been waiting on enough moisture to get his soybeans planted. He already had all of his tractors ready with the planter and watermelon transplanting, so his buddy offered to let him use his JD 2520 to field cultivate. I think the world of him and his dad but, I might have to take em behind the wood shed a minute. Lol. I do believe Gray has started bleeding green instead of red ! All I'm hearing now is we neeeeeeeeed a 2520 or 3020 JD. Ugghh, this is getting to be an expensive hobby and management lesson for him.

Really nice pics of your son getting his work done! If we had that kind of soil here it certainly wouldn't take as long as it does to prepare ground for planting.
 
On every farm around here, there is some of the best land you could ask for, then there is some on the same farm that helps hold the world together. He has his melons on the beach sand behind me, the soybeans in the mediocre, and corn in the black land. It can turn into a concrete block if not careful.
 
I used a nice 4020 powershift with side console several years ago to cultivate corn and soybeans. It worked well for that. As much of a red man as I am, it was kinda hard to carry it back home where it belonged.
 
It's an all original tractor including paint, from what he told me. It had the kind of cab that bolted to the Rops canopy. It was so hot and noisy, it was removed.
 
Did you steal my oldest son's tractor? We have a 2520 that looks identical to that one except ours has a double block weight on the front. My dad bought it in 1989. Tom

Nice!

We got rained out again today. Been waiting on some dry weather around here! Muddled through 80 acres on Sunday, glad I had the front wheel assist, reworked it on Tuesday and planted it yesterday, not the best seed bed but got to get something done.

Cant believe how wet its been, and cold. We have the heater on in the house!

It has definitely been a mixed bag of weather for us recently. The Temps have ranged anywhere from 102 once down into the 60's today. I under dressed this morning and had to dig my coat back out of the service truck to move equipment. I thought for sure it was not needed anymore till fall being it's nearly June.
 
They do look like twins except for the double stack of weights on yours. It must have worked very well as he wouldn't even let me make a round with it. Lol. Maybe he'll get his soybeans planted tomorrow after school gets out.
 
Has not gotten too dry yet this spring, in fact hard to get any soil dry enough for planting. Corm belt is going to be hurting here in the east.
