My aunt asked this weekend if I'd be interested in some of her late husband's equipment. She said if I was interested, her and her late husband's mother and brother were going to give me a disk, spring tooth harrow/ field cultivator, and at least one tractor, maybe more. I told her I was thrilled they thought of me first and I'd love to have the equipment. Now the problems, the disk is a 18-20 foot Kewannee unit and the cultivator is 20-24 foot wide, can't remember the brand. Both of these were pulled behind an Minn-Mo G850 gasser (Oliver 1755) in fairly level black dirt, I don't think my Oliver 1650 diesel could handle these in the rolling clay ground that I'm playing with. Another problem is the equipment is in NE Iowa and I'm in Central Iowa. I could possibly pull them home with my 3/4 ton, but it's just shy of 2hrs taking the interstate going the speed limit. I also think getting a semi to haul the equip. would be very costly seeing how both the disk and cult. would require wide load permits. I believe the tractor they want to give me is the Oliver 770, the Minn-Mo G850 and an Oliver 60 and the Super77 w/ a loader might be included too. I'd really like to move up that way and try to get started in farming, but I haven't been able to find a decent job with good wages up in the area yet. Another problem is storage space for the tractors. Right now I'm forced to park my 1650 and a Farmall H outside, I will not allow any of these tractors to be without cover. I sure hate having to make decisions.

On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
