Much the same here....
Just today Dad signed the dotted line to rent another 40 acres which for most isn't much, but for us that more than doubles our normal spring workload. 1/2 of it hasn't been cropped in atleast 5 years, so it's covered in weeds and needs to be clipped down before we can work it. The other feild has a bad washout by the creek crossing, so the land owner is gonna have some concrete chunks and such hauled in to fix it so we can get to it.
I started cutting some of the 1st field with the green chopper, and boy is it wet. Still carries in most spots, but being unfamiliar with the lay of the land I almost got stuck a couple times finding the outside edges of the field, and where the waterways are. I was going for about 30-45 minutes when the steering got bad on the tractor (massey 285). I shut it down, opened the plug and the oil was really foamy. Start it up and it was good for another few minutes. I eventually gave up and let it sit for 5 minutes before driving home.
Tomorrow I gotta take the reservoir off the power steering pump and see if it's got more crap in it, or if I can tell anything.
The radiator is still out of our 1855, should've been done today but no phone call. The 1600 is working, and so is our 165, but it's a rough start. Gonna cost a few $$$ to fix the steering on the 285...

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
