After chopping off one 6 acre feild and pulling off 10 loads (still have 6 rows out there) last weekend, we decided we should rent a bagger and try to stuff the rest of our corn in there, and then chop the 4th crop off into the silo on top of any corn that didn't fit in the bag. Gonna be renting a neighboring company's 986 IH again to run the bagger, and hopefully we don't have problems and have to put it on the chopper like we did last time.
That 986 probably only saw 15-20 hours since the last time we rented it 2 years ago, so we kinda do them a favor by running the snot out of it for a couple days. They're alwasy cheaper than the local dealer as well, even if it's only by $2/hr.
Still gotta see if we can get atleast 1 more wagon (so we have 3 to use), as chopping up the road will leave me sitting while waiting for the next empty, where as having 1 more will allow me to keep going, atleast for a little while till I get caught up. Dad could keep up pretty good with the bagger last time though, so it may not be a problem. We ussually borrow the neighbor's 2 wagons, but we just don't like kissing their arse just to use some worn out equipment that we ussually have to fix a couple small things before we can use them. I don't mind if it's once in a while, but this is almost every time we use them....
With any luck, we'll be done with the bagger by Friday, otherwise Saturday.
My brother is coming home from Madison on Sat. and he's running the local marathon on Sunday, which he's ran the last 2 years and did very well, and qualified for the Boston both times. He actually ran the Boston this last spring and I forget exactly how he did but I think he was in the top 700- not bad considering just how many runners there are in that one.
We'll be having a big carb supper on Saturday, and just to make it fun we'll celebrate Talk Like A Pirate Day which is on the 19th.
Now to make it through 2 days of work till I get to do what I want to be doing...
