You jinxed me! It’s hailing here. Martin

No hail here (yet). We have also missed all the heavy rains since we replanted three quarters of corn. Stuff is looking pretty good over all. Have not had to run a pivot yet. Martin

They are pretty flexible. Martin

Not a real hilly stretch, but here is a picture of a bald eagle on the old man’s pivot on the home place. None of our land is flat, hence pivots. The flat landers flood irrigated for years before they switched to pivots. I’ve seen some on some crazy hills. Martin

Ha. Common misconception. Martin

See this picture from South Dakota? Martin

A pivot that sits still is the best pivot! Martin

That thing is too nice to off road! What kind of off reading are you thinking? What is local to you? What transfer case does it have? That thing is right up my alley. Martin

I use to have a red beard. Use to . . . . . This creative carpet farmer is definitely going to be a red head for awhile though. Is your part of Kansas fighting the weather? Martin

Any update on the 7630? We had to replant three quarters of corn that got washed out, but we have luckily been missing most of the really big rains, they have gone all around us. Martin

A lot of Chevrolet parts in that pile for a MOPAR guy. Martin

Remember how I mentioned the guy here who hauls corn with two seven hundred bushel Brent wagons behind his Magnum? He was unfortunately killed in a farm accident this week. Only 66 years old. Went to his funeral this morning. This is what led the funeral possession from the church to the...

Quite the round of bad luck! Martin

Depends what you are calling high or low pressure. We run 40-60 on most of our pivots. No water flows out of our wells, unless the pump is running. I would have to double check well depths, but the old man has eight wells. I have one....... The one here on my farm is a goofy setup. We have...

That 4955 was the hoss when I was a kid. The old man had a Super M-T/A, a 4020LP, and a 4840 when I was old enough to remember. He traded the 4840 in on a 4955, and then traded that 4955 in on this late model 4955. It was the main tractor till fifteen years ago? He should sell it, but it has...

We also use it on a 10’ shredder to mow road ditches! Martin

We just switched a well from diesel to electric. Took off a 5.9 Cummins, and replaced it with 100 hp electric. Must be a pretty shallow well! Got the auger tractor running today. Brought the boss along to supervise. Martin

You know anyone who works on tillage equipment? The old man has a 2210 Field Cultivator with a spring tooth harrow and rolling basket combo. Every time we use it, we break a return spring on the harrow. I'm not sure why I keep replacing them! If you do, slap them around for me! I have a...

That T&L is already gone. Saw it going past my place the two days ago. A different farmer bought it, and is probably going to use if for a corner system, not sure, I'll have to ask when I see one of them. A new Zimmatic is suppose to be going up in the next few days. I put wall mount openers...

Taken from the county road, so kind of hard to see, but here is that T&L South of my brothers house. They had a tub down at the end to drain the liquid electrons out. Martin
