Just a couple hours north they've had 3 feet already. Made a real mess though trees down everywhere and of course no frost for the groomer to travel on. Your doing better than us then, we just had a super wet summer, high water in all the rivers and such, temp dropped with the fall and no more rain storms or snow, wouldn't you know. So far we are not having a good start Quote
AKwelder Posted October 22, 2016 Author Posted October 22, 2016 Neighbor saw a trailer with an old farmall in town and called, it was this morning delivery. %5BURL=http://s304.photobucket.com/user/ehoffman3/media/Mobile%20Uploads/26497615-F1DD-480D-901D-B3A91F8EAAA4_zpsweosyh5z.jpg.html%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn162/ehoffman3/Mobile%20Uploads/26497615-F1DD-480D-901D-B3A91F8EAAA4_zpsweosyh5z.jpg%5B/IMG%5D%5B/URL%5D %5BURL=http://s304.photobucket.com/user/ehoffman3/media/Mobile%20Uploads/74040FCE-F056-4CF2-B007-02C4EDD3F26B_zpssxrxz7i7.jpg.html%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn162/ehoffman3/Mobile%20Uploads/74040FCE-F056-4CF2-B007-02C4EDD3F26B_zpssxrxz7i7.jpg%5B/IMG%5D%5B/URL%5D newest never of the fleet Quote
AKwelder Posted October 22, 2016 Author Posted October 22, 2016 Yeah, nice pictures there photo bucket Quote
AKwelder Posted October 27, 2016 Author Posted October 27, 2016 Days like today I sure wish I could climb on one of my tractors and go mow something. Great therapy and really helps with the stress. Some people don't care if anything gets done, and it drives me nuts Quote
Grumpy Gaby Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 I hear ya AK on both comments! Hang in there and think about using that 'new' snow blade when you get home! Quote

Bgriffin856 Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 That's a sharp 230 too early to be thinking of the cold and snow. Give it another month here Quote

Give it another month here I hope so, I still have seen nothing but pictures of the 230. I have been in Valdez and my wife made the deal. I am getting excited to see it, Christmas is coming early Quote

I am getting excited to see it, Christmas is coming early I should have made arrangements to stop by today and take a look so I could beat you to it I spend a couple hours at the borough assessors office trying to figure out what easements we have on the farm (seriously took that long and we still haven't figured it all out). Anyway, one of the ladies who works there saw one of the old pictures of the place with the 460 still on it and was going on about how much she wants an IH tractor. In other news, 2 of the 3 parcels for the farm were established before the borough existed so they don't have easement records from the initial deed for them. This could be fun from the sound of it.

Your not to far from the pipeline either, all kinds of easements and Right of Way stuff, then they have the power lines running back to RGV-77. Heck you might be dating back to the territorial days and have an original homestead. Yeah, it could be a case study. Good luck Quote

Good luck I leave tomorrow and back Friday night, so don't think I'll get to see it before you unless you'll be gone a while yet. Yeah, I believe at least part of the property is an original homestead. We don't have a pipeline easement or anything like that, I'm just trying to figure out what the width of the section line easement is. The 2 large tracts are the ones that I'm not sure about. It's actually possible they don't have one at all (although I expect there is something). The width is important due to someone planning on using the easement to access property through our farm. So the width of the easement determines how much effort they'll have to put in or if they get to put a road on top of one of our fields and we lose that production. Quote

AKwelder Posted November 1, 2016 Author Posted November 1, 2016 oh, and i hope to be back Thursday I meant that if you give them a small field road around the edge if allows them to wander and your screwed again Quote

The problem is he thinks it's wide enough that he can just put his road on the edge of the field with no clearing. He's a very confrontational type so I need to figure out what the easement really is before I go to saying something about it because if I make issue and the field is in the easement it'll go from a small dirt road to the biggest mess he can make in the easement just to make a point.

AKwelder Posted November 4, 2016 Author Posted November 4, 2016 just got home, kids are at school and the wife at work, My dogs are happy to see me, and I checked out the new tractor. it is in the twenties here, and just for the heck of it I tried to start it, and it fired up!!!!!! Quote
bitty Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 She looks great . Did it come with the blade? Quote
AKwelder Posted November 4, 2016 Author Posted November 4, 2016 just going over it really close, she is in really good shape. one ding on the grill and a couple hardware pieces, then go for the correct carb and fuel line really nice Quote
