First off, I do appreciate advice & Thank you in advance!
Ok, I don`t think I`m what some of ya`all have called "yuppies"....I`m just green. I Do hope that was Funny!
To give a quick(yeah right) background story, I`m a guitar picker that moved out to the country, TIRED of the road( hats off to ya Allen(NE), & yer a perty good picker!!!). Anyway, I`ve been try`n to learn this farm owning thing for a little while now w/o the education I SHOULD have grabbed when I had the chance!!! I didn`t take FFA `cause I didn`t EVER see me living on a farm. I Have had some good "luck" raise`n a few cows, not myown at the start but a perty good friend that had a farm living background.....& that my Dad liked! Both have since passed, Dad Waaaay early at 65 & the same for my friend "Chop" at about 45. he`s the 1 that brought the first cows out here, we set up the `lectric fence & I was the "rentee", but chop always stopped past of an even`n.
Well dang, so much for quick story....lol. OK, last year we had a gent take over our hay cutting, we`d always had to pay to get it all done.
Last year an `ol boy did it on a 50-50 split....now we`re talk`n a 10 acre patch(thats what we got charged cut`n rack`n) & its just mixed grass hay, nothing special. Anyway, the "FELLER" picked the WORST freak`n time ta come get his bales(pix ta come). He BURIED his D-17 in the field, good thing he had a back-up....JD 4020(MAN, I wish I had 1 of those big tractors). Anyway, again....it should be HIS fix`n the ruts now shouldn`t it?!?!? After he got his bales out, he asked me if I had a disc....I DO have a disc but my only tractor(MF to35) ain`t want`n to lift very well & the "Feller, `ol boy" KNEW that too....`cause he "tried" to help me rebuild the hydraulic pump.....Ok, I`ve ranted, just wondered ya`alls thought on HIS responsiblity of fixing HIS ruts?!!?!!? BTW, I "hear" he`s not going to cut me & my brothers(YEOP, screwed up his field too) hay this year....thats a story lil `bro would have to type, `bout the same deal on ruts I guess.
`preciate the imput, good `er bad & I`ll do my best get`n a pic `er 2 up
Gilbert
PS, you`ll see he was "greedy" try`n to get 2 bales at a time....when he just had 1 on the back, the front tires didn`t "dig" ta China!!!!!!!!

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
