Hey Mr. Super Hero,
I was kinda thinking that maybe since Opti-Crop already has a presence in North Dakota,Phil should send you up here to the Outdoor Farm Show!! We might even be able to entice ol Glow in the Dark Glen,and Dsl to show up if you made an apperance!

You know what. Phil does have a presence here in Southwestern Ontario. He, along with Cargill's Pat Lynch and Peter Johnson, are the "3 wheat gods" here. Kinda strange why Opti-crop isn't promoted here, from that standpoint.
I actually would like to go out there to Fargo. Its beautiful country. Too bad its so wet this year. Well maybe not, the sugar beet price will go up.
BTW Woodbeef, are you going to the Outdoor Farm Show next week? I'm likely going to be there sometime. Its going to be a VERY interesting show.

Wish I was going. I've heard great things about the BigIron show and keep kicking myself for not going when I had the chance (as a farming trainee in the US).
Sorry, don't have any good OOPS pics. I know Phil has been a great supplier of those at Farmphoto.com (and eventually they get stolen and show up elsewhere whit someone else taking credit...).
Some years it seems a good way to avoid getting badly stuck in the fields is to bring a camera, cause if the camera is in the cab there will surely be less fun to take pictures of.
(Hmmm, I guess I really should say I wish SOMEONE ELSE got stuck when I have the camrea with...)
Also a thought on the name OptiCrop. It is also the name of a range of fertilizers from Hydro over here. I guess those fertilizers are not marketed in your area.

hey laapa opticrop is a registered trade mark for us, world wide i am told, i don't know anything about opticrop fert in your neck of the woods! but when you work in the business and get to know the guys, you realise, that its not impossible, we still have a farming operation in russia, i think, consultants in austrailia, cattle farm in bolivia, there is even a smaller country near russia, which was tried, a JD 5020 w/cab and 4320 was sent over, as part of a farm, adventually the JD badges were stolen and they were parked up in favour of the universal tractors (crazy ain't it) we sell fertiliser, in both bulk (batch mixes), in liquid (our engineers are nearly finished a new plant.....will make 32-0-0), and in bags, to help the house holders lawns grow fast, great for the women who want there husbands to loose weight  here in the US the bulk fert goes through our 20 odd retail stores, we also sell most ag chemicals, through these stores and each store has a consultant! its a crazy place, but good people, anything is possible! laters pudding |

32-0-0 will do great for home made explosives !!
You just need a huge shockwave to detonate it.
I pulled a 30 cm thick oak stub yesterday... kind of hard work for a 5245... next time, i may want to bury a bucket of 32-0-0 under it, and run the hell. ;D ;D

Yep, 4wd and cab. But no pict of it 5245 stuck. I have a pic of it spreading manure, with a so-called "sod injector". With duals. www.farmphoto.com/homestead/message.asp?dsply=all&mid=7249I must have a photo somewhere, with our old ursus sunken down on the axles, in hog dirt. That was just after the pig pest in 1997, when we started cleaning up the mess from the temporary hog sty. we were in the locked area for three months, no piglets could be sold to the hog raiser. Hey, today i pushed a whole tree down. Yesterday evening, i cut of one root, what was coming out of the ground. i have hit the upsticking root few times with hay machinery. Then i tried pushing against it. This evening, i cut of the other root at ground level, and pushed the whole tree down with the 5245. it was about 40 cm thick. I wanted my neighbor to bet for a crate of beer, but he knows me too good for it. I want to make a ditch alongside the bush. We have stored manure and feed there for years, and the ground is stuck, always muddy there, while few meters further, the bush is dry as dead wood. I also hit a madam's car while she waited for the traffic light. I had a bad night, and was watching to the 8 axle crane in the lane next to mine. Saw the lady too late, and the road was wet because of rain. I hooked a chain to my bumper and pulled it straight with the tractor. I have fixed the grille with some tie reps, or raps (how do you spell that?). Will do the fine work when my brother is back from holiday. |

hey renze, thanks for the pic on farmphoto, traffic accidents are never nice, just too many panels and stuff to break.......those things you refering too called zip ties?
that zetor you have looks like a JD 2100......(it was i think!)
sounz like you are keeping yourself busy with the landscaping duties....!
that tanker in the pic really does look large are you actually injecting that stuff, or skimming the ground?.....would take a bit of pulling wouldn't it?

Yes, i hit the ma'ams car on the towing bracket. Luckily. She had a scratch on the bumper. My front bumper was bend into the car. Luckily, Volvos are renown to have strong bumpers. No radiator damage, just my headlights are looking a little mean.
The sod injector, literally translated from what we call it here, has disk coulters at 20 cm distance of each other. On that photo, i was pulling it about 4 cm deep. The injector has a working width of 5.5 meter, the tank has a content of 7.5 cubic meter.
So YES, that little three pitter has to earn it's meal the hard way.
About the tie reps, or zip ties: I think we understand each other.
I do think it's the 2100.
Yes, i am giving the farmyard an overhaul. Cleaning the mess my two brothers left ehen they went out living on their own. My oldest brother is like a young dog, he drags all rubbish to his sty. And when he did some job for one, and had his small flatdeck trailer full of rubbish, debris, and other construction waste, he never came as far to bring it away to the dump site, or to burn it.
And when he needed his wagon for the next job, he just threw it all over the side of the wagon, if he could find a ditch that was still not dumped.
Well, we had some serious trash fires here, i dug some serious holes with the good ol' 5245 (Yesterday, i have almost cracked out the bottom of my earth bucket. that bucket has no guilt, did very good work for us. Will weld on a new plate saturday, at work.) We moved the last three years about 25 tons of scrap iron to the scrap trader, about 17 km from here, and we were planning to pave the mudholes in the drivepath behind the barns.
I think i have smoothed away quite some rubbish around here the last year.
Next project is the tractor: Due to the deep mudtracks behind the barn, in which it is driving every winter, i lost some oil rings on my front axle hubs. Keep on filling. It needs some new fuel nozzles too.
