woodland , here is us last year. what a difference a year makes !

no I know what you're going through same here last 3 years . not directed at you , hope it turns for you . we have a few here tgat never get done , ever !

Last year was the first time we've had overwintering crop. Just hit 20% done and that's all we got off last fall.

Wilton your comment about trash and a shoestring budget is very true here. I'm 34 and lots of the equipment is marginally newer than that and some is older. We've got two tx 66's and if there's one running I'm usually happy. Rebuilding a bubble up gearbox and a pickup reel (hart carter reels are $hit) currently.

My friend has combined sept, oct, nov, dec, may, June, July. He did canola swathes in July and got $9 bu for it. We gave up on combining June 1 and started harrowing in canola and barley. Supposed to be two days of snow and rain coming pronto..... hope they're wrong since the yard is just dry again.

Nothing glamorous here. A bearing died and had to be 1 5/8 shaft. We got 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 on hand so $150 call out fee and 200 km later I guess we're going...... for now

Lol...I was going to ask the same thing....I bet he's been demoted.

So First Born Son is no longer #1!

Yep, tr96 , and to add insult to injury took over the 98 and blew out a fuel injector. I guess the boy will always be number one since he was born a minute before his twin brother. Plus 2 and showers or flurries tomorrow, quess i will source parts.

I had days like that when I was younger....luckily back then things didn't cost as much....quite sure your sons don't feel to good about the bad luck either....it can test them probably more than you.


Not the best feeling ....
