Its been a wet cold spring this year that's for sure, The ground got dry enough to get a crossed to work it for the first time. It's still early to plant beans and I'm in no hurry to plant. This ground is funky to say the least, In the fall you have to disc the ground lightly (just enough to cover the soybean stubble) or come spring with the trash covering the ground it will not dry out at all. So yesterday I hooked my Oliver 1550 up to the 10ft 3pt field cuilt and hooked the section harrow to it and headed to the field. Some of it broke up good and some broke into chunks that will brake up when it get a rain on it tonight or this weekend. The funny thing about this ground is it very rarely brakes up like normal ground, It more or less shatters into little flakes type klinkers (for the lack of better terms) and makes wonderfull marble and golf ball sized clods till it gets a rain on it and it mellows out. Anyway the Oliver 1550 diesel just purred along pulling it however she did some barking in a couple spots in the field ware it was real hard. I hit it twice and got rid of the green and I hope that one pass with the disc and hit it with the harrow-gater and it will be ready to plant. At least that's the plan, Hope it works. Only one bad thing happened, Lost a shovel off a shank and I don't want to find it with a tire. Bandit

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
