I wish I could use our powerwasher at the farm, but the farm that we rent has a line that runs 2 miles from a spring on the side of a mountain down to the farm. It was put in I believe around 1910 with cast iron pipe(I think). The pipe is slowly eroding away so there is tons of sediment that comes out and isn't good for a powerwasher. My landlord says he doesn't have the money(he's in his 60's) to drill a well and the line does work well, has lots of pressure, and is free. I really don't want him to think about drilling a well, the rent will go up:(

I hate to let stuff set outside and see others let stuff out, especially tractors. Ours are always in a building, just the buildings, built in the 1930's are ruin down because my landlords father didn't put money back into the farm which is sad(You'll see what I mean if I take some pictures) so they have dirt floors and aren't the cleanest inside. I do let hay wagons sit out over night during the summer, as we unload them early in the morning. But everything else is in a shed. I often go crazy on the guy I farm with because he thinks he is going to leave the hay rake out overnight, but of course I put it in myself!

Oh by the way, I live to the north of Gettysburg, near the town of Williamsport(where the Little League World Series is held). To be exact I live in the village of Nisbet just to the west.

On the 560, I think they were one of the worst tractors IH ever built, well at least I think the gas versions are. It is actually my partners, I keep telling him to trade up for a 706 with a German Diesel, but so far it is a no go. He has talked about getting a 656 Hydro, which would please me.

Boy, looks like I am getting alittle long winded, I guess time for me to depart my soap-box!
