My flax fields are cleaner than usual, more good luck than good management I suspect.
Gradually getting most of the bins emptied of last year's grain in preparation for the soon to be new harvest.
In other news I have bought a John Deere swather, sold an IH swather and bought a well used New Holland haybine. The haybine is a bit of a "fixer upper" but as long as I don't charge myself anything for labour I will come out positive I think.
What else goes with sunny summer days in Sask. but antique car shows. Being self employed I allowed myself some time off yesterday and today to support the local "museum day" and see the antique car club vehicles out on display. I even parked the old 64 Chevy II near the rest of the antiques. Seriously, some of the "antique cars" were newer than what I was driving. As usual I could not resist shooting a little video to add to youtube.
Hmmmm....Does it tell you anything to say that video looked like it was taken of a typical parking lot of my youth?
ReplyDeleteThe haybines are pretty good. We had our set up with stub guards and hold downs for grass and one with pointed guards for alfalfa. Did a lot of work with them.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you keep the sickle drive wobble box well greased and keep plenty of the rubber bushings for the sickle heads on hand.
