Saw your question down there on my swather post. Made it to page three before I saw it though! Been out spreading fertilizer. Going to plant some corn tomorrow.

The oats went about as smoothly as anything does the first time around here! I made it four times around the headland and was just about to start working up and down the field when the right side of the drill stopped planting. I have an old McCormick drill. It's a nice one but it is from the 50's and I pull it with an IH 300U made about the same year. Anyhow, the drive clutch for the grain completely gave out on that side and was not going to plant. So we cleaned all the oats out of the thing and I mounted the 3 pt cone spreader and we dumped them all in there and I went up and down the field broadcasting oats all over. I had rigged up a 16' plank with a 40' chain hooked to each end and dragged that behind to give some coverage. Didn't look to me like it was doing anything and a lot of oats just lay there in the sun. THEN the rain came and the temps dropped and next thing you know I had a really nice stand of oats coming up. You don't have to cover them if you get the right weather. They come up faster where drilled but in the long run they are just the same. I have a little IH 810 head with a Sund pickup on it and a pretty nice swather. Swather just had the engine worked on, carb cleaned and a new starter and battery installed. Also the draper belts are new and installed. Never have grown oats before. Should be interesting. Thanks for asking!

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a ...
