TODAYS SEAT TIME

[bazman82]

Teddered, mowed and round baled some fields today.

Today's Seat Time came to an abrupt halt this AM.

I went out to the Tractor and noticed I didn't drop the Brush Cutter last night.
I usually do so it was funny to me, but I hit the down lever for the 3-Point and nothing happened.
So I said, Self, ya Boss, must be a safety valve in there somewhere that needs the engine running to drop it... NOT !
I started it up and the 3-Point didn't go down, can't figure it out either... !

I will have to post in the Mahindra Section but Seat Time Today... NOT !

Finally got some hay mowed these last few days and got 936 bales into the barn yesterday! Only about 400-500 more to fill the barn then onto the easier stuff next (round bales).

I double rowed the windrows because I thought I would be round baling most of this but we ended up with extra help so I squared baled all but 5 round bales worth. I really made the old square baler work and I had to have it in creeper gear for a good portion of it.

Looks like a Great Pyrenees.. My favorite dog on planet earth..

Man, what kind of camera do you have. I know it's not a Kodak Brownie. How many miles of irrigation pipe does it take to care for a place like that? Every thing looks so vast.

gg

The camera is a Nikon Coolpix point and shoot cheapy. (I promise)

The irrigation system is vast covering many, many miles. The line is owned by those who have shares. By teeing off the main line then setting up your own system you are ready to water. Thankfully mine was all done before I bought the land, but it does make land much more valuable when water shares come with the property.

On and working.

I remember as a youth Cat, moving the irrigation pipes, one on each shoulder and by the time we got to where we were going those pipes were hanging down about waist high (walking thru mud etc.) and these were 12"ers, mains.

It's not the camera then _ your scenery must really look like that !!

Water rights is something most easterners never heard of. First time I was in American Falls I was working with a local mechanic and he invited me to supper. He said come on help me water the horses. We started lugging buckets and walked along a little brook that ran thru his little place and flowed down into the snake river. The brook was fenced off. When I asked why he didn't use the brook to water the horses he said I don't own the water rights the power company does. They own all the water rights if it flows into the snake river because they have power dams. Doesn't matter who owns the land. That's the way I remember it anyway. I had never heard of such a thing. A hard concept to grab hold of and understand.

Todays "seat time" was more rotavating...

I was hired by the Amish to till 18 acres of pumpkins, the thing is, the rows were 7 feet apart, and he wanted me to go down them with a 6 foot tiller! Have you ever tried to do that?? It's not easy, IF you want to still have pumpkin plants when you are done! lol (AND NO, there rows were not perfectly straight)

Anyway, I had to be VERY carful and go slooooow, 1.02 MPH to be exact,

He had some Mexicans clean out around the plants on the side of the field I was on, so they were easier to see, and I managed to get a little over half of it done today.

We will see if he get's the Mexicans back out there, and then calls me back... IF those plants "crawl" much between now and then, I'm NOT going back!
