Spook lives just north of my place. We actually have several operations locally that are at least equal to yours. Some quite a bit larger. There is a dairy operation about 4-5 miles NE of me. At one time they were either the largest landowner in the county or second. Most of the guys I know own anywhere from 50-100 acres and then lease the rest. I look at the ones around me and have to believe the equipment is all leased. There are two auction companies with substantial on-line auction businesses. One of these up in the thumb is still doing big volume. The other one down in Mason only has a couple of items in it's February consignment sale. Live auctions are getting scarce but I attend every one I possibly can just to enjoy the day out.
Those internet auctions are too easily manipulated. I went last week to look at a CIH 1020 header I found on CL. Fella wanted a bit too much for it and I was not disposed to give it to him. He told me he had it listed with the auction house in the thumb area. High bid was $2500 and that included a nice header cart. I am sure the bidder was disappointed to find out after all his work bidding that there was a hidden reserve on the item and his good deal was all smoke and mirrors. Live auctions are more fair. You have the high bid and you own it. Reserves are spelled out up front.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
