As I posted a few weeks ago, I got a new tractor. Man it was expensive, but DAMN this thing is handy. I got it mostly to mow a field, but I use it for a lot of other stuff. We had a storm blow through, and the tractor was a big help in getting a big limb cleaned up. This is a small thing, but recently I changed my sister's oil and used it to carry the low profile ramps I made from the barn up to the driveway. Of course I could have carried these by hand, but a tractor makes it a million times easier. What did you do with your tractor(s) today?

I did more digging today and yesterday to try and find the location of my septic lines/leach field. I traced it all the way to a elbow which heads right where I wanted to put the garage. So I know lines are located under where my building will be. so I am either going to move septic leachfield or I am going to build right over the top of it and if I have a issue deal with it then since out of 6 places that do septic work only one has called me back and he was supposed to stop yesterday and talk with me but never did nor call me back.
 Attached File Attached Filemy trench is right at about 4 ft deep from top of pipe to ground level you can slightly see where I would dig with backhoe then use shovel to find the pipe then a tile probe to trace it as far as I could in my current hole. I was doing as much as I could to not rip up the whole yard with the chance of rain off and on next week. |

Used the 3930 to pull the haybine out of the woods so I could put her together and get her prepped for mowing.
I bought this unit a couple months ago and it was partially disassembled as it was shipped from Ontario. I got all the sheet metal back on and greased her up good. I was missing one bolt (seller included a bag of bolts), so I need to run to Rural King tomorrow and grab some hardware. 
I'm hoping to mow the field off Wednesday, then I'm gonna sow some alfalfa with a buddy's grain drill. |

Got the garden tilled and ready last week. This was my first time in there with the new tiller, so it took a little bit of planning to get it done without wrecking the fence or leaving tracks everywhere. I think i have a decent system worked out now though so it should work even better next time. Luckily the previous owners of our place made the gate about 78" wide, so my 6ft tiller can barely squeak through. The fenced area is 32'x40', so it took all of 20 minutes to do. Luckily the 3038E can turn surprisingly sharp, so maneuvering inside there wasn't much of an issue.

We are going to take a shot this weekend on making homemade goat cheese which is kind of new and exciting for us since they don't produce milk unless they kid. if you want some kids in the future let me know. edit: also, they waste hay like mfers, hence the tractor with loader will be awesome for cleaning out their area |

Borrowed my buddy's JD 15-7 drill for put down then alfalfa. First time using one of these as well. Now we pray that we get a good stand, would love to get at least one good cutting of alfalfa this season. |

You can't imagine what we pay for a bale of alfalfa over here. If you have a good crop it would probably be cheaper for me to have you FEDEX me some. Friends of ours that work a horse ranch in CA noted some crazy prices for hay, like $15+ a bale. Anything over $5 is overpriced to me, unless the bales weight 75-85LBS, versus the more typical 50-60LBS. |
