First tractor and chopper I remember was dads 830 diesel com Case with a case 300 chopper. He bought another new 300 and then a couple years later went to a nh 717, then the 830 went for a new 870 and a super 717 and later a 718. First boxes were Dakkon live bottom wagons on Case gears with an all is hopper blower. Then he bought two new Badger 14' boxes and a new badger blower. That blower only stayed for a couple years because they came out with a much better updated version. He traded for a couple new 718 choppers and that's what he had when he quit.
We always filled our two silos, an 18x35 and a 20x50 plus a large stack. Then dad would also chop large stacks for my brothers as well. He would also do custom chopping for neighbors, a lot on the early years, maybe 20 silos. Most of those were smaller 30-35' jobs tho. In the end when he was doing my brothers he still did a couple of his old customers as well til they quit. In those last years I would guess he cut well over 100 acres with his 970 and 718 chopper and those two badger boxes and an old wood one he bought somewhere that rarely worked. He chopped and ya boys hauled and when making a stack my older brother brought his 930 with the heavy all hydraulic loader to make the stacks.

Today's Featured Article - The Engine Rebuild Kit - by Curtis Von Fange. I always liked engine rebuild kits. They have all the replacement parts for overhauling an engine without going to the store to get gaskets, special measuring tools, or miscellaneous parts. They come neatly packaged, clean and tidy. But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
