[QUOTE="VelocityYellowRules!, post: 132114, member: 1318"] So some news, maybe farming wise anyway. I have 270 acres north of my parents place that was in wheat two years ago and never got harvested. So it was flatter than a pancake last spring and I knew that I ould not be able to seed it unless I burned it or disced it, neither were options I wanted to do. So I looked around and found a machine called a Salford RTS - believe it or not which stands for Reduced Tillage Specialist. It is basically a cultivator frame with a set of wavy coulters on it. Just imagine something with giant pizza cutters on it. It did, I'll have to admit, a pretty good job. I've done some lodged crop before and it was never fun, plugging all the time and so much time lost lifting, turning around and waiting for the mound of straw to clear. Then hitting the pile in the fall with the swather or combine. I'm pretty confident that I won't be plugging after using the RTS. Not a fan of multiple field operations so the plan is to take the coulters off my old Haybuster 8000 drill and mount them on my airdill. Otherwise, attended the Honor Roll ceremony at the school on Friday. So much pride! But a little PO'ed when they called his mom three times to invite her and never called me once and of course I show up and his mom doesn't.............. So back to working on tractors. We're taking some time to do some things, replacing the stack on my 1150. VERY hard to find 6" exhaust stack. None even in Edmonton or Calgary, it had to come from Saskatoon. Hey Riley are you hording the stuff?! Had some challenges hand flairing the bottom but got it done and it fits. Now to add some braces. My cousin John came over to help his son Brad do the AC on both tractors too and they are at them moment working! Nothing worse than having uncomfortable working conditions unnecessarily. So got my gf's rig ready first and sent her out to the field. Accidently hit the master shutoff on the monitor so the metering rolls were not turning at first. I like the sort of problems that can be solved by the flick of a switch. Then the poor girl got too close to a wet area in the NE corner and got the tractor stuck. First day seeding issues. All normal. So this morning we'll go out and pull her out and get her going again, finish the exhaust on the 1150, get the drill hooked up again and filled with seed and fertilizer and I should be joining her and the acres should start to fly. Excited that Steve and company should be starting the Z06 this week! Hopefully all good things and no surprises! A Happy Mother's Day to one and all, don't forget to let her know how much she means to you!!!!!! Cheers, Garry Image #9 shows the matt of straw on the ground, #7 after the RTS was used. [/QUOTE]
