IH Tractors on Montana Farm

[Delta Dirt]

Same thing going on here Gary.  I had started to type a post asking about you-----when I see you have posted.

Looks like my new laptop is blocked from this site.  Keep getting a post that "there is a problem----contact RedPower".

I clicked on contact and got a phone number------lady answered.  She was to have B.J. (Farmall Fan) or Sallie contact me.  Several days ago-----no contact as of yet???

I am thinking RedPower has turned into a young man's site???  If so-----that's their business------I have never paid for any access/use of this site-----so have no reason to complain.

Would all of you regulars send me your e-mail address-----so far have not been able to pull up any old e-mail addresses from old computer.

Who's got some pictures to post----will probably be mostly in a monitoring status here forward.

Hmm you fellows issues baffle me. I'm not smart enough to know if it could be site related or individual device related. I only had trouble with this one topic getting on but seems to have cleared up for me at least after the last update.

Milo harvest, South Texas, 2021.  Started cutting grain sorghum July 17, we're about 25 days late from normal.  Turning out real good.  2388 combine with 30' header ,and 7150 Magnum with 700 bu Caldwell Cart.  Going well except ground still spongy some places.  Got combine stuck once, and cart twice, not too bad though.  275 case IH pull-out tractor.

 

 

 

 

What % moisture is that Milo. I’ve not cut a lot of it, but never cut any still green. We have a hard time getting it dry enough without a grain dryer to even sell. Are you drying that stuff I guess?

Gary, Anson, others - I have had a little trouble with this particular topic over the last few weeks but it seems to be working correctly now for me.

 

@FarmallFan, can you try to help with these issues?  We need these gentlemen to be able to access the site and post pictures. 

Please hang in there, and hopefully BJ can get the issues sorted out.  Red Power would be a sad place indeed without IH Tractors on a Montana Farm.

I've had so much trouble with this Red Power site lately, I've just about quit coming here.

Gary, l hope you can get things straightened out posting again soon. Like l posted earlier, not too long ago, for several weeks l had trouble posting here on Red Power forums. Seems like it just started over night, lasted a few weeks and then just as quick it started working right and l haven't had any problems since.

Anson, same as for Gary l hope you can get things sorted out too. l enjoy Red Power a lot but two of the main reasons l come here every morning is to check IH Tractors on Montana Farm and to see the progress that Tony Ramos is making on his projects. l just hope ya'll can get your computer problems worked out soon and things get back to "normal" here.

Well, after close to 7 years of planning, collecting trucks and pickups and styrene plastic, Booger Creek Gin is starting to take shape. l built a mockup out of 1/4 in. foam board held together with painter's tape for templates when l start cutting corrugated plastic hopefully l won't make many costly mistakes.

l'm hoping to build it as a "multi era" gin. That is, things from the 50's and 60's to the present. lt will still have the "suction shed" on the front to empty cotton trailers but also a "module feeder" on the side to take care of the round and rectangle modules.

Life wouldn't be the same with the words of wisdom from Wrangler and the old wranch hand! As well as Gary's doings out at silver creek!

I know others have expressed issues with posting in the past while, I had not until recently, usually not an issue until I have actually put some thought and effort into a longer response and then it just sits there doing nothing(saving) greyed out, I took note of Sandhills with select all, copy and paste to avoid the frustration of losing it. Another thing is the data associated with loading this topics pages with all those wonderful pictures 

We will need to figure this out Gary and Anson to carry this to 1000 pages and beyond, this should be pinned as vault for a modern trip through history

Our milo goes directly to a commercial elevator where they have dryers.  The moisture has been running 13% - 15.9%.  

14% is the no dock mark.  Ours is not green.  Some just has high moisture.  Somtimes, on the row ends there is a few high moisture heads.  If one or two of those grains get in the sample, it can really spike the moisture.  

We don't have storage or drying on the farm.  The elevator will charge you for drying the moisture down to 14% but it all goes in the same tank.  So what they are doing is just blending the moisture out of it.  They don't really dry it.  They are just making extra money for themselves.  Even the co-ops do it.

Wuz able to get back in via cell phone this morning.

I still have sense enuff to know that it iz probably more grey hair causing issues than hardware or software???

Then it sez "re-submit"?????  Damn if I know.

******

Did go back to some early pages of this "Montana" thread last night-----just as much fun as if I  had never read them.  (sorta like Gunsmoke)

Lots of old posters that I haven't heard from in awhile.  Don't remember when I first posted here.  Had followed the thread for a little while before I came to the conclusion that Old Binder Guy  and Highwheeler on Smokstack were the same ol' codger.

You must be a big shot when you have to use more than one alias???🤐

 

Now if I can manage to not sign out and re-submit submits??

 

Here goes again-----4th try on posting.

Anson I re enjoy Gunsmoke nightly! Don't really even know what's on current TV anymore for the most part.

Looks Like DD is back in the saddle. Now if Gary can get going again..... He probably has a pile of pics to catch us up on. Maybe he is headed down to Booger Creek with a load of building materials for the new gin 😊

[Roger Byrne]

Anson, that Model T photo looks like it could be taken along any river backwater . . . even up in my part of the country.   To answer Fred, I'd say that's a homemade trailer using the back axle out of a Model T.  The car appears to be a 1923-1925 Roadster so there would have been plenty of junked T's around by then to scrounge an axle out of.  I was a very common practice and lots of T's were stripped down to the chassis to make wagons.  I've "saved" about 25 of those in the area around me to stripped them for parts and then give the parts to anybody needing them.  I just hated to see them go for scrap iron if something could be used.

Fred B, It's not a Ford axle or springs. The "wishbone" tongue might be Ford? The wheels might be, but I'd doubt it, from the foreign axle. That's a neat photo of a 1925 Model T Ford Roadster. Weather curtains installed! Balloon tires. They paid an extra $25 to have them! Gary😁

 

[Old Binder Guy]

I didn't think this place was going to let me post a reply to Fred. It did! So now I'll try another of mine? It took two photos on the second try. It's slower than "Molasses in January" it seems. It takes forever to get around. And I still can't consistently click on "Like." Usually it doesn't work. I sure wish the admin would report what is going on with their site?

[CIHTECH]

How did you get a picture of my low budget start up excavation company? 

[Delta Dirt]

Quote Roger:  " any river backwater"

That's exactly what I thought Roger.  I have seen that scene without the model T many a time in my younger duck hunting days.

Even have two small and similar design duck boats-----except made of fiberglass..🤐

Funny------how some days it was too cold to hunt;  but never to cold to hunt ducks.

Not pictures from yesteryear-----but this afternoon.

Rode down through the farm looking at my tenants soybeans-------one of best crops of soybeans I have ever seen. Double row on 38" centers-------absolutely matted with pods.  Gotta keep our fingers crossed-------ain't in the bank yet!!!!

Crop folded back by ol' Delta Dirt's walking stick.  I counted 50 pods per stalk------mostly 3 bean pods (occasional 2 bean and 4 bean pods).

 

 

And looking back to southeast across top of crop toward my shop-----house is further to left buried in the big trees.

 

And------- visit from my neighbor Marvin the Goose.  Marvin will never go hungry-----his menu includes all Wildlife food, dog food,  cat food, horse feed and whatever else he runs across.   (Canadian goose that our neighbor rescued and raised from a baby).

 

Note:  everybody our age needs a walking stick------keep the dogs and women beat away.  Uhhh-----here lately I haven't had to use it on anything but dogs!!!!😰

Maybe we all could pitch in and buy one of these fancy motor homes and go check on the professor up there in Montana. As you can see, we would need Delta Dirt with his walkin' stick to keep the wimmen away. And it has a trailer for Wrangler and his goose.

And we would have to get Roger Byrne to go along in case we needed a fan belt or something from Wild Bill's adult gift, used auto parts and cigarette outlet.

And we could charge anyone else that wants to go $10,000.00 a seat with no meals furnished like them there rocket fellers do. Might need a carpenter just in case we had a fender bender on the way.
