Pass The Rain, Please

Went out to scour the plow last night to try and get a jump-start on the huge plowing job ahead of me.

Didn't even bother to turn a key; the ground is so darned hard the machine wouldn't be able to penetrate anyway. Time for rain! :>(

Last promised rain did not materialize as per usual (Think I counted 7 raindrops). Starting to look like normal western Nebraska now. :>)

I miss the derned irrigation! :>(

I have a 10' IH tandem disc that I put 22" (7mm)scalloped front blades on and added about 1000 lbs to the place where you can add extra weight.

Got out there and was totally amazed at how well it cut. Made 2 passes, leveled, came back with 12" chisels and one more pass, then final spike toothin and I'm ready baby.

So, bro, might put some weight on top of that disc you were showing the nice pics of and try her.....might surprise yourself.

If it's really hard (the dirt), reduce your cutting angle to nil and make a pass. Then come back with them spread like you have them now and I betcha it'll work.

Is your disc a model 37? Aren't you afraid of peeling the lift out of 'er?

Harley was telling me to do the same exact thing, but those darned IH discs are prone to lifting apparatus structural tears anyway.

Allan

Go fer it bro.

Dont the plant have to be a certain size(3 leaves)before the first frost?

Hope you get some rain Allan so you can get the seat time you so desparatly need.
