Hay conditioner, baler, big bale trailer, car toter, etc was sold at our local consignment auction today. I kept the 200, B allis with belly mower, 24' JD wing disk, 4x16 -3 point plow, my 82 T mower. I ought to be able to work up the garden with those tools. Guess I'll miss hay making, been baling it since 1961. Sold the row crop stuff 3 years ago. I've got a lot of JD planter plates left for a 4 row 494a planter.

Pulling the plug - know the feeling , both good and bad - out of dump truck and other transport now - but do drive every once in a while for someone else .
3 trucks setting out back but not DOT or licensed .
715B backhoe setting as well as Adams 12' grader , FD5 dozer , HD5G loader , 460 IH industrial tractor and a 655 New Holland Skid Loader I bought a few years back .
Figured it cost me more for insurance than I made and figured I didn't want to work every day so better to let sit than go to work every day .
Been plowing snow for last 50 years now at church next door and wonder if I should tell them I am done with that also . Last year (this snow season) had 4 times I plowed and I might have made enough to pay for the new battery and gas I used .
