Great PIC!!!

Loading some durum in the truck to start the wheat seeding.

WTF? Wet spot? Spring? Quick Sand?

Planting some lentils right back into last year’s lentils.

Big sky country!

How wide are you planting?

We are pulling a 60 foot plow. The rows are 10 inch spacing.

WOW!

How many acres?

Suppose to seed this field in a couple days. Still got the combined parked out there

Jim, that is the way to haul water!


What type of sprayer do you use?


We've got a couple old Spra Coupes that we use in the river bottom but everything up in the hills is hired out to a guy with a big JD, he sometimes has a buddy help him with a similar machine and they can cover some serious acreage.


Got done with cow chores and finally got some seed in the ground this afternoon.

The Ol' Versatile was purrin' like a kitten....

Everything looks brand new!

It takes some big country to make those combines look small.

Nice looking operation C Hell.


Hopefully we get some seed in the ground tomorrow.

Bad field conditions here......harder than hell.


Dealing on an old Wishek disc right now.

Sam, how wide are you?

Yeah, what hell C, you hit an oil well or two?!

grin



Guys are going non-stop here now, the big push is on.

We just got another .35 tonight we needed it badly. Ran drill 16 hours a day and got done with the lentils this morning. Got the first 1700 in. Did it in 5 days. 1/3 done.



Here was cleaning grain a couple weeks ago

I have a 110 foot Summers suspended boom.

Bought it used a couple years ago. Been a good sprayer.

Pull it with an 8650 John Deere.

I have 30,000 into that combo. Sprayer was 18 and the tractor was 12.

My neighbor has 180,000 into big self propelled John Deere.

We run a JD 2013 4940 with 120 foot booms 1200 gallon tank. Had a older case self propelled traded it off in Dickinson came out about 100 to boot which we thought we did real good at the time.

That’s how it works in PA too, except it’s gas.

We farm around a lot of oil wells. Like a lot. I wish we got some money off them. I rent 1000 acres of ground from two old brother bachelors the Bakken did them well pretty sure of that.

I am not exactly sure how it works.

The cylinder itself is self contained. A very large spring forces the rod into the bore of the cylinder. The two cylinders pull the axle ahead to keep the tracks tight.

I am not sure what the dry nitrogen is for. When the nitrogen leaks out the track sags.

I guess it would have to be on the spring side.
