PLEASE! I don't understand why these people who have no ties to agriculture get such traction with readers, while the people who are doing the work can't get people to read about what we're actually doing. I guess we're not controversial enough. Still, you and I and our friends will just keep plugging away, won't we?!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030884632849692028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746965660860204993.post-80861644408155950972014-11-26T07:53:35.321-06:002014-11-26T07:53:35.321-06:00After posting this to Facebook, I was amazed at ho...After posting this to Facebook, I was amazed at how many people have similar "relics" in their farm yards. They still serve a purpose, don't they, even though it may be very different from their earlier "life" on the farm.

They get better treatment then the cowboys who care for them! <br />We have an old tractor like your 8n. We put a spray tank on the back and spray the sides of the roads and what ever else needs to be sprayed. Works great.. We have a "new" John Deere tractor. Everything else is old! We don't have much machinery here...No combines or anything like that.<br />CheriCDHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199340649340083682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746965660860204993.post-27711668993887981712014-11-25T19:32:58.996-06:002014-11-25T19:32:58.996-06:00Kim,

When we were first married J hooked up the blade and used it to clean the cattle lots. It has been retired (due to the purchase of the BobCat) and it sits behind the calving shed.<br /><br />Great idea putting the wire unroller/roller on it. I bet it works good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488038248488005011noreply@blogger.com
