Life on the Farm

Thanks Rob. Still praying for your dads wife. Hope all goes well. Now you better go out and make sure the water troughs aren’t frozen.
I took all the hoppers and meters off planter. They are in the way for removing old wires and rerouting new ones. I switched the meters over to Sugar beets. I will take them to our Precision dealer and he will run them on his test stand to make sure they are working properly. We do this every winter. It can save a lot of costly problems.
I have the planter to the point I’m going to need to hook a tractor to it and unfold it. It’s single digits out and the planter tractor is on spreader for Biosolids. Ten miles from shop. In the cold. It’s probably going to take all day, but I need to change tracks on my old sprayer tractor. I need to take off narrow 18” wide tracks and switch to 24” wide tracks. Then put that tractor on Biosolids spreader. Then put planter tractor on planter.
Probably not that exciting and a lot of playing around in the cold. Hopefully tomorrow will be ready to actually work at planter again.

This is a fun thread, Brian! Keep it up.
Marc St Louis:
looks good Brian
Used to like making smoked jerky, haven't done that in awhile
bjrogg:
Thanks Steve if people are interested I will try to keep you all updated and continue this thread.
Marc I gave some jerky and a couple sticks of summer sausage to my brother. He said the jerky was pretty addictive and hard to ration.
Ironically at the times it seems like I’m not posting or doing anything. I might just be to busy to post but I will try to.
We got a good ways on our projects. My brother got the tractors switched and I continued pulling off the old wiring harness’s. I’m far enough along now to see how the new harness is going to work. I also realize I need one more yet so got that ordered today.
I have two of the four harness’s run. Will have to make a couple extensions wires for the two vacuum meters.
I have the three variable rate hydraulic motors and shaft speed counters wired.
The rate controller, seed star box and 2020 monitor are all wired.
I have the harness for the individual rows monitor laid out but not run yet.
I think I’m past the scariest part.
Got hydraulic lines run for third v-rate hydraulic motor.
I’m cautiously optimistic at this point but I know there could still be lots of surprises and I’m a long way from field ready.
Getting closer though and still have a little time.

And I finished up a nice Cherokee two fletch target arrow last night.
I’m really liking the two fletch. Don’t know why I didn’t try it a long time ago. Pretty simple to fletch, looks great and this is the quietest arrow I have ever shot. Seems pretty fast two.
River cane shaft, pole barn spike point.
