[quote="Fatjay"](quoted from post at 15:28:22 06/25/15) I wanted to start a post where people can post their daily accomplishments, be it tractor related or not.
Today I went at clearing brush again, cleared 3 tree's, and got my ferguson stuck while grading. I forgot I had dumped an old rain barrel there, and the front wheel sunk up to the axle. Tree's behind me, I couldn't go backward or forward. I took my oliver over and put a lift strap around the axle and lifted it strait up, then filled some dirt, and put a 2"x6" under it. Of course then it wouldn't start, so I just tarped it right as it started to rain. Not sure how I'd have gotten it unstuck without the oliver, it's supposed to rain for the next 3 days strait.

Got 3 different irrigation lines going early this morning. I had to lay out one new line and install tall risers for the sweet corn. Then at 9 I headed out to do 3 mowing jobs....first one was 25 miles away. Turned out to be a bigger job than I first thought. Heavy weeds and sagebrush that hadn't been mowed in years, on a steep hill as well. Some of it was first gear with the 8' Bush Hog. Owner liked the outcome so well he turned me loose on another section he wasn't going to mow, so turned into a 4 hour job. Then I head another 15 miles away to do a 4 acre field, easy job, but lots of moles and their hills are hard since we haven't had rain in about a month. Very dirty and bouncy, and 93 degrees :(
I decided to stop at McDonalds for a cold drink and some food at 4, then headed towards home and cut an overgrown acre of alfalfa for a guy...then headed home and just had a cold beer and caught up on emails and phone calls. Still 2 1/2 hours of daylight, so I suppose I should go work in the veggie fields for awhile....Candle is getting short burning it at both ends

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
