Pat B:
That temp is 30 degs colder than out 20deg(F) here this morning.

Yup it’s a bit nippy out there last night Marc. But you definitely have us beat. That’s okay with me though. I’m not sure how low we got but it was -4f before I went to bed last night. Was sure glad my wife had extra blankets on and half the bed warmed up.lol I was like a reptile attracted to the heat.
Yeah definitely remember some cold winters , but it creeps into my bones more now.
The cold weather has been good for our spreading Biosolids operation. A lot of the Biosolids from Detroit go across the bridge to our good Canadian neighbors. When the boarder closes we are suddenly moved up in the schedule and we received 8 doubles loads of product late last week. Went right to work spreading it with good conditions. Still have about two loads to spread, but we got a heck of a pile spread. Was actually good timing for us.
We did get the last wiring harness for the planter and I think I have the planter side of it installed correctly. Need to route it to the front of planter now and then to tractor. Sounds simple, but you have to realize that this planter folds up for transport. It uses that space very efficiently and doesn’t provide a lot of extra space to route wire harness’s and hydraulic hoses. We are hoping not to have to route harness as it was originally installed. I’m afraid it won’t fit with the connectors on unless we pull all the hydraulic hose out, install wire harness and then reinstall hydraulic hoses. We are hoping to run a PVC pipe over top of the brace that the original wires and hoses were routed through, but now we aren’t so sure it going to work. We’ll figure something out though.

Still spreading

Good pictures! I see the track setup on your tractor. I’m appreciating the work put into the management of the soil more than ever, learning more about it. It’s a fascinating subject and I can imagine being very passionate in it’s stewardship.
You can bet I’ll be watching.
Marc St Louis:
Yes that is a pretty good setup. Tracks certainly seem the way to go
I remember when I was young my grandmother getting her wheel tractor stuck in the mud, it was not a pretty sight
