What I have been up to.

[70ds]

Well I haven't posted for a while. I am a little behind. So here is a bunch of pics of what I have been up to.


This happened where my brother works. It came unhooked and crashed.

I got a new disk.



Had a flat on the 4020.









Blew a tire on my pickup and trashed the side of my box.




Started a fire with my swather.

I have also been doing some field work for a buddy of my Dad's.








They are still working at tearing down the old refinery in town.




That is all for now. Questions and comments welcome.

Nice set of pics. Looks like you've been busy. I kinda forgot you were looking at a MF 124 baler last year, didn't know you wound up getting one. They were a good baler in their day, my uncle had one when I was a kid. How do you like yours?

That IH a 10 or a 1466? I don't envy you, having sit in that cab for any length of time. I've spent significant time in a 1066 of the same style pulling a 15' Shulte mower. Couldn't handle it without the big ear muffs, made for long days. Even getting in and out of the cab is a pain....

I love the 124. It is an excellent baler. It makes great bales and never misses a beat. It was a good buy. The 1066 on the other hand is a pos. That cab is terrible. Plus the ac wasn't working. Those 66 series cabs have to be about the worst design ever.

Talk about rotten luck, starting a fire and blowing a tire!!

i would take a 66 over an 86 cab any day, we have a 86 and this week i took the doors off so i could get a breeze i only know of 2 1066 and one 86 that still has working ac, and those tractors are every where out here
