I started this 37A field yesterday. Caught into a limestone ledge and broke the mounting plate off the #2 beam, so spent the afternoon welding and repairing the broken beam. Had a pretty good day today, in spite of breaking 2 new landsides. The Weise landsides seem to be brittle and break thru one of the mounting holes every time. I finished off 2 of the 3 lands even with a broken landside and missing brace on the #1 bottom. Only had 1 bout to finish it. Tomorrow morning I am going to weld up and reinforce two broken landsides making one, and see if that works.The breakage really puzzles me because the plow pulls perfectly straight as you can see in the pics. I have the hydraulic reset system pressure set as low as possible to keep the bottoms set in working position.
This field has many slopes in several directions from one end to the other.
The farther I get down the field towards the pond the wetter it gets. Water seeps down to the ledges and then runs out of them where they outcrop from the slope. The ruts that are in one picture were made when the field was sprayed to kill the over growth.
The rain turned to snow this afternoon. My cousin Kevin tried combining some corn yesterday, but moisture is 26-30%. Still need some good weather to dry things out. At least this year the beans are done, before snow fall. Last year we had snow on the 9th and could not get 30 plus acres of beans that would not dry down. There are still a lot of beans and corn standing in the fields around here.
