Yes brothers, I'm back. Got a virus right after this happened, kicked my butt.
Hey coop thanks it is a cute little disk, huh. Real story there, married into a family that has around 40-50 acres in a 1/4 share. (Old deal made with my now past Father-in Law and one of his old friends. The son of old friend figured out my Father -in Law had Alzheimer's, the whole family is clueless to farming, etc. etc. The farmer is ripping her off. From 3 large modules of cotton last fall, she only got around 3k, and since I don't work now and it's in my front yard I caught him skipping sprays, now we've got RR Pigweed, he's on my list, and when she goes, he's gone!) My wife only has 5 acres, her brother lives next door on about 5, yet I was the one trying to take care of her parents place (1/3 mile away) ,tractor, woods mower, last one to ride with him in a vehicle, etc. Another brother lives in a garage apt. in the house, he's 50ish, non mechanical, had the 5 ft. Woods mower locked up for this tractor when I bought it from her mother after her dad passed around 3 yrs. ago. The disc, an open blade and bush hog came with, and I paid her to keep the 7-8 acres between my wife and her brother out of farm, so now I have a few acres in truck patch and a turkey,quail,deer,dove, etc. haven right on the edge of a 6-8000 population town. She borders the city limits, I love it!
Yea I'm a little cranked up, but hey, I still got a good ole' boy deal from my old county Co-Op (can't deal with the locals)
He did a 60 mi. round trip, pulled, patched, touched up the others, all for $135, not bad.
Does suck though I can't claim any of it the way the property is set up.
So wheel, I did lurk in between discing and planting the last few days, so it's getting a leetle boring for you here, sending PM
