bitty Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 We had a snow squall last night and it stuck on the sides of things until after 2 today. I installed a dual PTO in the 7240 we sold yesterday. I have another lined up to get our two (remaining) boxcars converted to dual units. Only our MX 270 will be big 1000 then 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotsaIHCs Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I opened up my driveway, 4/10ths mile. Up to 4 feet deep in places, forgot to take pics. Then I drove my little old Santa Fe up onto the township road to take a gander. This is what I found. It's a quarter mile of 50 mph wind blown, hard packed snow, that I'm guessing is up to 4 feet deep also. Then around the corner is another mile that hasn't been plowed before I get to the road that I know is open. Along that mile is the section with banks about 8 or 10 feet high. The pic with my car is from a couple of weeks ago. I would imagine that that section is packed full now. So I decided that is better left for bigger equipment than my Hydro 70! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-301066460puller Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Hey Bill where are you located from Farmington? Was through there twice today going to Roseville on 116. Do that fairly often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toward the end there's a clear spot just before it turns to the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsaIHCs Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I cleared the driveway...again...and again when I got home after work. In one pic you can see the county blade at the top of the hill while I was digging out this morning. Another pic is from about a mile and a half from home after it was plowed this morning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowaboy1965 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Nice enough here my son got out his '01 cobra for the first time today. Didn't take pictures but he was driving it tonight when he came out for super. Told him some of you guys still had feet of snow. We both shivered at the thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do that fairly often. I live 1 mile east on 116 then 1.5 south on the road where that LPG terminal is. Farm shop is south of town 2.5 miles just off of RT 78.

Dzldenny Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Can't even look at a field without getting stuck around here right now. Had to make a pile in the yard for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 Got the 10 and the 490 out in the cornstalks today. Might not have hurt to let things dry another day, Everything went fine till about 200 yards from done. Plugged up, kind of sticky. I disced about four acres of a six acre field, kind of a test plot. I chopped the stalks last fall with the 756. Going to try some narrow row beans. For the frugal farmer such as myself, how do we achieve this? All-crop drill! Going to plant two ares, (approximately) at 15" spacing and two acres at 7&1/2" spacing. The other two acres will be a test to see how the cyclo does in chopped stalks. Going to hit this one more time with the 475 disc before I put the beans in the ground. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What brand is that tool box right there with the spring loaded J-hooks? Older design or not so much? I removed one of those that looked to be Really old. Box was beat up but I saved the brackets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
