Picked up another 8-10 acre field yesterday. With this rain I may not be able to finish plowing all the new ground this week. I hope that I can get back to it by Wednesday. Still have about 5 acres left on the 12acres I picked up and 2 smaller fields of about 2 acres to do still as well. The old 400D with 3-14 is doing a wonderful job. My dad tried to come help with the 450 and the other 3-14 but could not seem to get the plow to work right. He kept plugging the back bottom. I believe he had the plow out of level but he got frustrated and left before I could take a close look at how he had it set up. Plowing down 3+ foot tall grass can be a challenge. He seems to thing that because the 400D is a narrow front that it is knocking the grass down in front of the bottom making it easier to plow where as the 450 is a wide front and is not knocking the grass down making it harder to plow or more prone to plugging? I think that he will hook up the 10' disk and start disking while I plow when I get ready to go back out to the field. It is nice to see him out on the tractors. I know I appreciate the help as well. The price of off road diesel went up to 2.60 a gallon here locally from 2.44. The old 450 is a gasser so it is quite a bit more expensive to run than the 400D. But I guess in the name of saving time I will pay for the gasser to run just so I can hopefully get everything worked up good mellowed and hopefully planted by June 15. I need to go get more seed this week as well. I think I am done picking up bean ground as I now have about 30 acres of bean ground. I will start looking for ground to fallow for winter wheat once I get caught up. I think I can obtain about 20 more acres by September for that purpose. I am glad to be back to farming instead of off globe trotting in third world countries toting a gun.
