A view from the tractor...

My Son was going to no-till all his beans this year but the soil is staying wet in spots so we are running the Glencoe vertical-till over all the corn stalks. It chops the corn stalks and fluffs the ground. It is a only 20 foot but I can stay ahead of the planter--we run c-2 at pto speed-about 9 mph. Son put a air ride seat and Sirus radio in so I can listen to my 60's music but turned to channel 6004 for they are playing the top 1000 country songs of all time.We got about half the beans in but got rained out last night about 7 pm.---Tee

Deere 4630--20 ft. keeps it busy!

Big Tee, Some nice looking ground your working. When my dad started dairy farming in 1969 he bought a used 3 point2 row JD planter. That thing was trouble free and planted about 35 acres a year. In the mid 80?s stepped up to a plate less AC no till 4 row air with seed monitor. Funny used to just stop and check for seed population dang monitor would go off if the eyes got dirty.

That will help on the tires on your big tractor by knocking the stalks over.

Think I would do something about those chocolate chip cookies obstructing your view on the right side

Larry EC-OH · May 19, 2019

Yep, I noticed that right off too!
They wouldn't have made it to the window on my tractor, ballast and all LOL!

Least you can get in the fields. I have 25 acres of corn in on high sand. I started working dirt Thursday evening and we got .8 inches about an hour after I started,so were waiting again. Guess I can head to the track and hang in the snake pit!

Haha that?s awesome!

I wish that I could get into a tractor. I hurt my back 8 days ago and can hardly get out of a chair. They also said that I have a leaky gut and that has infected all my organs around it. All I can do is sit here and look out the window., but it rains everyday so I guess my timing was OK.

ditchwitch · May 19, 2019

Im sure nobody has to tell you to stay on top of that leaky gut and infection. Thats stuffs no joke and can take a man out. Good luck hope all that stuff gets better.

GWIndy · May 19, 2019

Big Tee glad you are able to work ground and plant. We started planting corn and beans yesterday afternoon, last night and early this morning in North Central IN. Started raining about 11:00 am. Still hard to find fields dry enough to work. Every thing is parked waiting for another sunny day.

Adirondack case guy · May 19, 2019

They have me on a total liquid diet and I am taking antibiotic pills that would choke a horse. Also taking lots of tylenol to cope with the pain from the fall and the infected organs. The organ pain is subsiding and I am hungry as he!!, but the back pain is getting me down. They did CT scans of my back and hips, and found no broken or dislodged bones. I went back a second time and they said I had pulled my back muscles severely and it would take time and lack of movement for them to repair.
I caught my heal while backing up with a ladder in my hands, landing on the top of a dry layed natural stone retaining wall about 30" tall. I don't know how I landed on my back but found myself with the ladder on me on the lawn at the bottom of the wall. I have lots of scabs on my backbone from the top of the wall.At least, I didn't break any of the wife's Lilly plants above the retaining wall. HeHe.

Loren I know you will listen to the doctor. You could get peritonitis from this. I m sure that has been mentioned already.

fixerupper · May 19, 2019

Nice looking rigs Tee. I no till beans into corn stalks too but the jury is out as to whether I will have to help it dry out. My immediate neighborhood has not received as much rain as they have a couple miles north and east of me but this rainy weather system is not done with is yet so it is wait and see.

4520BW · May 19, 2019

Hows does the 46 handle that tillage tool? I have a 17' turbo till and it's a load for the 4840. That thing is heavy the 5095 has trouble pulling it up hills on the road.

Adirondack case guy · May 19, 2019

Your Peritonitis seams the same as what they diagnosed me having. Here they call it Diverticulitis.<br/.
Loren

fixerupper · May 19, 2019

Loren I had diverticulitis last fall. Not fun at all . You are very sick when you have diverticulitis you are deathly sick with peritonitis. My gut had one very small perforation that only showed bubbles on the CT scan, no liquid leakage. When Marilyn wheeled me to ER every little bump that wheelchair hit hurt the gut like crazy and I did not have a back injury to add to it. Yours must have perforated enough to leak liquid and that can lead to peritonitis.

When I got home from my five day hospital stay I changed clothes and hopped, well maybe slowly climbed onto the loader tractor to help set up the auger to the bin. My city raised daughter in law came up to the tractor and stopped me and gave me a good scolding. LOL Why waste time laying around looking pale feeling weak and crappy when we can drive a tractor looking pale feeling weak and crappy?

Adirondack case guy · May 19, 2019

The doctors said they saw no ruptures in my gut, but I'm sure that the sudden stop when I fell on by back
sure put a strain on everything else down there.

big tee · May 19, 2019

GW--NICE RIGS!! Hope you can get back in the field soon--the forecast does look good for this week around here and you guys usually get our weather a day later. I don't know about this no-til yet-I miss setting in our Deere 4-wheel drive!-Not a nice as yours though--Good Luck---Tee

big tee · May 19, 2019

Thanks fixer--That is all we can do is wait-Where the ground is tiled every 60 ft. it is in great shape-but we have 2 pipelines that go through the farm diagonally and the ground is still wet!---Tee

big tee · May 19, 2019

4520-It pulls it good but would not want one 1 inch bigger...When I built it we loaded it on the trailer and took it to the coops scale and it weighed 9500 lb. without the rolling basket or hitch on it. Good luck bud---Tee
