- Getting old. Sold the ranch. Sold the tractors. Moved back to the city.
My neighbor is adding another 12 acres of alfalfa to his existing 20 acres. Previously he chisel plowed and disced the ground using his articulated IH 4366 (165 hp engine)
This week he fired up the D7 Cat with the laser drag scraper and commenced leveling and sloping the field for surface flood irrigation.
Here's the rotary laser on the big tripod. That's my neighbor's small tractor, a MF-294 (74 hp engine, 67 hp pto).
With the price of irrigation district water, fertilizer, and seed going up all the time, you have to get the field draining correctly from the start or you're wasting time and money.
