warmer day today, 71 already going to 86, high humidity sure does pull the sweat out of you
Finally had to put some chemicals down in the veggie garden, Capt.Deadbug's organic powder on the cabbage, which was getting chomped to bits by
some unknown bug and then put the rest down on the sweet potatoes and beans, anything that had munch marks on them.
Hard night last night, had to make a midnight hot tub run for leg cramps, but then I was fine. I just can't do three or four hours on my feet anymore.
I go until I can't go anymore, rest, feel better, but paybacks come later.
Going to take the Gravely rider out into the corn patch today and cut down all the sections that grew nothing but weeds. That's where I wound up yesterday
and realized the job was way bigger than me. Then I work on the potato plow, new bolts holding the plowshare in, with spacer washers to improve the angle, and then
I'll go dig up some empty part of the field to try it out. Just doesn't look like it will dig low enough. Trial and error. Doubt I can use the little Massey, the lower arms seem just too short.
Since the potato rows are pretty far apart, I think I'm going to quit fooling with this, take the mower off the Kubota and put the potato plow on that, which has a hydraulic top link. Then I can adjust any which way.
Am also wondering, for those of you familiar with digging up potatoes with a middle buster, if I put the tilt part of the top n tilt, meaning I have a hydraulic side link, would angling the potato plow in one direction to turn them over directionally, almost like a standard "lay-off" plow, would that make getting at the potatoes easier?
Am wondering if there are some tricks to the operation here, never done this before.
Had to leave another thread due to folks there not to learn, or make new friends, but who only want to argue, to "get their way" over someone else.
It's sadly prevalent here, and I try to go in areas the unpleasant folk don't go. Sometimes not so easy.
Transportation is totally trolled. I won't go in Unfriendly Politics, that's where I believe all these harsh attitudes are coming from.
Folks go "in there" and come out with a ping pong attitude, you hit it to me, I'll slam it back harder to you.
No thank you.
Why not be nice as a starting point?....
