Finally got finished planting. Planted some corn, oats and barley this year. With the high cost of fertilizer I decided to grow some barley for feed to cut back on corn. Was tough yet, but not the worst. Was cold and wet to start, then got a bit done, then got over 5 of rain over a week. I used the 1030 for chisel plowing, discing, and harrowing.
The 1030 ran good this year, I had the injection pump and injectors redone this spring. Runs better now, but starts smoking as soon as a load is put on. I'm wondering if I have the timing off or a setting is off in the pump. Runs great ad pulls good, just smokes all the time. Not thick black smoke, and even under heavy load it's not excessive, just all the time.
Planted with the 400 again and the case 454 corn planter and case grain drill. All worked great. The hydraulic pump on the 400 is getting weak, so I'll need to address that before next year.
Had a little shower pass through while I was planting barley and when I stopped to check the seed level I caught this pic.
Did get stuck a couple times. Working around wet spots and pot holes gets frustrating. This time h the previous pass went fine, then this.
In my area that's how it is most years. Had a flat on the 1030 this year too. Came out in the morning and saw the tube sticking out the side wall of the tire. Found an old vulcanized patch that went bad.
There are no new tires available in that size right now, but I was able to find a used one that will get me by til I can get new ones.
Didn't get many pics of the fields this year, was too busy I guess.
Now it's spraying and getting ready for hayng. That is coming sooner than I want too. Hope you enjoyed the pics.

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
