Knee high by the Fourth of July is far exceeded. |

I finished up sidedressing today. Ran strong yesterday, then had to load fat hogs until 8:30 last night. So, I only had 20 acres to finish this morning. All of our sidedressing is done now (urea/anhydrous). After this unprecedented spring, we are sitting in pretty good shape overall. Had spots where we had to replant, and quite a few spots where corn drowned out but not worth smashing a bunch of good corn to spike in new. You can definitely tell what fields are tiled well. I feel for everyone dealing with this spring  .
A lot can happen between now and when the corn is in the bin, but if we don’t have more weather issues (especially during pollination) we should have a decent yield. Here are some pics and gifs from the last couple days, JD 8310r and Nutri-Placr 4300 (15 shanks, 37.5’ wide):

I pulled one of mine from under the shed to take pictures. Specifically so that I could compare it to how it looked when I brought it home. I want to find a hood guard (bumper) for it. If anyone knows where to find one that isn’t dealer priced, please let me know.

I was clearing some brush and top soil to expand my parking area. I found buried treasure.
Tractor didn't have quite enough ass to move it alone, so I called in reinforcements. 
It will look good sitting by the pond once the mud gets rinsed off. |

Not tractor again, but excavator...
Decided to dig out the big excavator from the barn. Our current manure area was drilling rig mats surrounded by concrete blocks. My dad and I have decided to pour it all in concrete for ease of things, plus we're going to pour a 10 yard addition onto our feedlot area.  Those blocks weigh about 4000lbs a piece. Yes, the chain is a stamped, certified lifting chain up to 7,000lbs. Grade 120 or whatever. We have a lot of certified lifting equipment since we own a crane, also we have a custom made lifting boom for the excavator and a counter weight that weighs in at 5000lbs, for the excavator.  Rig mats are piled up. We're going to put them at our gate crossings and bury them, so it doesn't get as deep/rutted.  A few trees went away too. I have a nice pile going for firewood this fall. Edit This was after my neighbors buffalo got out. I was chasing 24 buffalo across our hay fields at 630am in my f250. Fortunately I was awake enough not to hit the wash outs..  Two got deaded, but the pictures are sort of graphic. |

I am often 3-4 miles from the house working with my tractor without any support such as tools / water / food etc. i have been wanting to build a easy to reach tool basket on the front, and a bigger tool box on the rear, well i just got finished with them. needed The basket is something to hold my rifle..phone, pistol, water bottles, and other random crap i need easy access to. iv got a gun rack im going to add to it as well when i get around to it. its also got a mounting spot for light switches, ( lower right side ) as im planning on adding a led light bar to the roll bar, another on the brush guard and work lights facing the rear. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/92687/upgrade_4_jpg-1055367.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/92687/upgrade_5_jpg-1055400.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/92687/upgrade_3_jpg-1055369.JPG the tool box on the back is 10x larger than the tiny factory one, and its made so i can strap a small cooler onto the top of it. the tool box has tools, implement pins, tape, gloves... and a decent sized first aid kit with israeli compression bandages and tourniquets in it as well. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/92687/upgrade_6_jpg-1055401.JPG Have a slew of new toys coming in for my L3800 this week - Tuff top canopy - 2 LED light bars - 3rd function valve - 48" grapple - 6" rear wheel spacers We just picked up another 20 acres (of more hills) and I figured with the extra seat time I'd rather risk wearing out some wheel bearings or snapping an axle than roll it.
