Making a seedbed For alfalfa . The guy was going
to plant Timothy for rabbit feed but that hole deal fell
through . Good alfalfa will bring 100 to 120 dollars a
ton not tested just feeder hay the rabbit guy was
around 250 a ton but he Is a real flake so . The guy
I?m doing the work for decided to just plant alfalfa

nice pictures!!!!Hope the rabbit guys doesnt read your post///lol

I raised rabbits for years and alfalfa is what they want, not timothy. Would pick the best alfalfa for the rabits, they will eat any grass if that is all they have like most wild rabbits.

Why is there a heat sink on the back of your red implement?

SVcummins · Apr 29, 2018

The company sells those little bags of rabbit feed that cost 10$ For 2 pounds In stores like bomgarrs I guess they want Timothy . I?ve got to wild rabbits and they love my clover hay . Did you raise rabbits for pets or to eat or to breed ?

SVcummins · Apr 29, 2018

It?s a big gearbox and that heat sink or cooling fins keep it cool . The implement is a 14 foot lely rottera

Ha ha . I did some custom work for that rabbit guy and he?s kinda flakey all right .

Ringo had a nice warm bath after a long day in the field

paul · Apr 29, 2018

Thanks. There ain't nothin' like that in my part of the world. Plow, chisel plow, field cultivator, harrow/drag, sometimes a disk when you have to, and a few packer things for the very few acres of alfalfa planted any more.

ringo do's not look to impressed with the nice warm bath sv. either that or he's embarrassed you took his pic in his bathrobe :lol: sv. I just went back and looked at the front weights you have on the 3020 and they look similar to the ones for my Minneapolis Moline m5, I wonder if they would fit? the weight bracket is 5" deep and I was thinking of using suitcase weights?

roy prins · Apr 29, 2018

so why is there still tractor wheel tracks ?

SVcummins · Apr 29, 2018

Uh because the implement isn?t in the ground .

SVcummins · Apr 29, 2018

Ringo doesn?t particularly like baths but if I put his
leash on he?ll jump right in the tub he was pretty stiff
so I figured a joint supplement and a warm to hot
bath would limber him up some . I?d bet the newer
style suitcase weights would work as long as hook
part would fit over your bracket

This is the only one around here there use to be a few roto tillers that guys would use to prepare ground for spuds but with rising fuel prices it gets pretty tough to roto till four or five hundred acres. This is a lely rottera power harrow basically a tiller but instead of the tines horizontal across the ground they go vertical into the soil there are two tines on each rotor head it really tears up sod after plowing and it will carry a lot of dirt with it if you want and it does a nice job of floating the ground to fill low spots and fill dead furrows.

SVcummins · Apr 29, 2018

Was trying to see if I had the pressure in the duals so they were carrying the same amount of weight buy the tracks I think they are about perfect the inside is leaving a little deeper track but that?s because the front tires are cutting into the soft dirt .

looking at the tracks behind you sv. look about dead even on both sets.

I used to see them in SD as a kid, I'm sure the new types of soil finishers are more practical. Can you even get parts for them?

What's the red towel tied on the wheel?

SVcummins · Apr 29, 2018

Not many parts . I?ve got a parts machine here that
one of the bearings went out in the gear bed . The
last price I got on teeth for it was 150$ . There is a
guy on eBay selling teeth for about 75$ with
shipping across the pond . Lely sold the tillage
division to tulip so like what happens with most
mergers you get stuck with a ba$tard child . It don?t
take a lot of msintence to keep it running it?s been
across probably 20,000 acre and never had a major
problem

Leroy · Apr 29, 2018

Raise and sold a lot for meat. Quit because of mortality problems. But that was back in the 60's, Vets did not know anything about rabbits.

What's the red towel tied on the wheel?

I think it's kinda like a guy wearing one earring- depends on which ear it is in or which side wheel the red towel is tied to, at least that's what I hear, I could be wrong, and not that there is anything wrong with that, whatever SVC is down for. Now if it is a earring in your eyebrow or nostril or a red towel tied to your grill, I'm not so sure that is supposed to mean anything at all, which side it is in. Or them shiny little studs through a cheek or lip, that could mean they are down for about anything, or nothing at all. And if it is an earring in your nose, it it really an earring any more?

Or, maybe his chloride is leaking out of the valve stem and the towel is there so it doesn't spot kill some customer's fancy rabbit-falfa... :wink:

Red flag Is required for wide loads Like keffectives
girl Freind If she?s be transported on a public road

SVcummins · Apr 30, 2018

How do you market rabbits ? Did you just sell them locally or did you have a buyer that sold them to ?

K Effective · Apr 30, 2018

Oh, no, the girlfriend is quite svelte. So is the side piece and the concubine. The wife on the other hand..., well we should not go there. At least I should not type it out where she might be able to read it!!

(No more truth to that than there is to the notion that SVC wears his overalls commando with a red kerchief in the right rear pocket)

That looks like another invite for the YTDOT to condemn your efforts, SVC. Does it take two trips to bring the roterra, or were the pics from another hauling trip?

SVcummins · Apr 30, 2018

Yes the rottera has to go on a separate load . Need
a bigger trailer it could go on length wise in front of
the tractor it can go on with the tractor but it?s wide
to wide to go with out a pilot car .

Just got off the tractor
