Just when you think you're getting by a new $urprise pops up.
You going with new or gonna roll the dice on a reman? I guess we've had decent luck with remans on tractors but sometimes not so good.
I just ordered a backup generator for the well, no guns here either......
Went with another Honda(of course...) but this one is a little bigger, EG 5000 CL. Paid a little more than the internet price but our local parts store is open on Sundays and I'd like to keep it that way!
Got fancy with the processor this afternoon and added a 7' length of hallway runner to the deflector in hopes of cutting down on dust.
We shall see how it works tomorrow morning.
And today was the first time all Winter that I spied the illusive Montana thunder chickens out feeding!

Sam- What happens to the net in that haybuster? Is it small enough that the cattle can eat it or does the machine separate it?
I was about to post that question, too.

The wind was blowing like hell out of the east today, so I went to town to pick up the kids.
Left Young Daniel up at the folks.
By the time I got back the road had blowed shut. I asked the hired man to make a trail with the loader....but it was too hard.
Went home and got the 8 running. I had no choice to have the kids follow me with the pickup. Lynley....aged 9 drove. She was to wait at the cattle guard until I made it to my folk's.
Made it to Dad's and he took Daniel home. Lynley drove behind him and I took the D8 back home.

That is a good question.
I do not like the idea of plastic build-up in the herd cow's bellies so I actually remove the wrap before chopping the bales. 95% of the time anyway....
It takes a little longer but is actually pretty easy to do, especially during a year like this when there is very little ice on the bales.
Tomorrow I will slice the wrap on the loaded bale, rotate the bale and remove the wrap. The bale on the platform is even easier, slice the wrap and just pull it off.
Cows don't see any plastic, fields don't see any plastic and I don't have to clean the rotor near as often!
Jim, I was watching the first vid with headphones on and swore I heard angels or something singing in the background. You had some spiritual music playing?
Seriously, I'm gonna have to listen to that again, maybe it was just the old Cat singing!
Warm 23F here this morning with a mist in the air. Looks kinda weird outside.
