I just finished. No new pictures,but here are a few from last year. Same tractors,same chopper and same wagons,so no sense in new ones I guess. I have about four acres of some east/west rows standing yet,but there just flat out isn't any room for any more.I put 81 loads in last year,84 this year,and there was a little bit left yet from last year when I started.I chopped,hauled,unloaded,pushed and packed every one of them myself.
I don't know why it is that on what should be the last day,things start to go wrong. I started the day with 14 loads left in the north/south rows that I wanted to get finished up. I got 6 this morning,two right after dinner,then when I got off to hook up a wagon,there was antifreeze leaking down behind the A/C compressor.

I got that changed,chopped another load and saw something on the ground that looked like a black snake. I hoped with all I had in me that if it was a belt,it was the A/C belt,but no,it was one of the two fan belts. I finally chopped the last load after supper and got them all pushed in. Looks like rain is on its way and will stick around for a few days. Let it rain. The boys are coming this weekend to put the plastic on the bunker.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
