One more accessory that you definitely don't want to live without on any tracked machine, is the self-cleaning tracks option. Especially at this time of year.


















Now if someone would just get busy and invent that it would be much appreciated.

The 7 has a new under carriage and motor has been done 450 hrs ago. Clean and no leaks crawled all over it.

The Track hoe was new Demo were now going with the Deere 240 it has a thumb and set up like we want.


Off to Manitoba for parts early this morning for our HD 11 1974. Parts are tough to find on these older machines.

Dad and his brother had a TD9 back when he started and then the 4010 and 4020 had blades that were clean-up tractors the 4010 got used lots I remember as a kid.

Oh on the Rock truck comment that is something that is a very good investment. Its on our list of things but maybe get the one that is pulled by a 4 wheel drive.

My old menonite grandfather who learned to farm in Kansas with horse power used to call it green manure. The roots go down deep into the soil profile and bring up all kinds of nutrients. We don't harvest or haul any of them off the field so they are there for following crops.
The difference is they used to "plow" them back in and they decomposed quickly. Now it's just standing there and takes more time. Will decompose but not qualified to say how much immediate benefits that will provide this year crop.

Not recomending tillage.

Low carbon plants like volunteer canola should return nutrients quickly. High carbon volunteer cereals will take longer.
