I'm very happy for you and the missuz, Shameless!
I would not encourage you to trade off the machine though, for fear that it might end up in worse hands than yours! Unless someone agrees that it'll go straight to the scrap iron yard!!!
My trucking gig this winter will have me going to Des Moines Iowa on a half dozen or so occasions, maybe could fanagle a meal out of you over at Missouri Valley on one of my trips!!!

Hey Shame Shame! Congrats on getting rid of a load of problems! We're currently finishing up on a barn that would have room to store that machine. I'd make sure to point it that way to get your "pretty" and I'm SURE these girls wouldn't move the discharge chute to get a day or two off  . All it'll cost you is a picture with two little redheads . Seems to me it's a small price to pay. It's not like I'd send it to JoeM and have him post it or anything

Glad to hear this Dale. Did you manage to buy the whole farm, or just a portion of it?

Greg...i got what would have been close to my 1/3 rd share plus cash for the remainder that i didn't get due to the way the land sets. plus the house we live in now. i'll still get 1/2 of the present crop on it for this year. guess i'll be farming it just myself next year. will hafta dig out my equipment and grease/oil everything up over the winter. gotta have my 7010 looked at. always something huh! I don't know if i'll replace the grassed waterways that the big green farmers tore out, and also a dam they tore out. will hafta prolly plow the corners they couldn't farm. guess they don't know what one of them hyd levers do in their cabs! i'll know more after the crop is out as to what kinda shape the ground is in. most any rows that had a curve in it, they just ran it down, the crop never made it into the combine. must be straight line farmers only. niether I nor them will hafta worry about it from now on, they won't be on this farm again. I should be able to make some money that they wasted out there.

How many tillable acres?

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

CONGRATS on your purchase! Not sure this is a good time to start farming again due to the high cost of the inputs.
I am sure your farm was destroyed by the current guys, so you will have a LOT of work to get the fields back the way you want them to be. P.S.---- I know where there are 2 AC 440's and an N-5 that can be had!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!

If it were me, force the ‘big boys’ to restore the waterways, and the dam.
Granted, they may let your crops sit till last, just to spite you, and harvest in the mud.

You can easily get by with a WD-45, and 2-3 bottom plow. Plus all the extras.

Getting by isn't all that much fun. The 7010 would be good enough too but a articulated tractor would be more impressive!

I, for one, recommend an old articulated tractor like the Steigers or Versatiles. Easier to work on than a fixed frame MFWD from my experience. And if you have a pull type planter they are great…never run out of power or traction, and you don’t have to bulb your turns at the end.
Congratulations on ending that hassle with the stockholders, shameless!! I’m really happy for you. Have fun out there getting the land back into shape. Now if I could just do the same with my stockholders.

Lars....I don't think i've ever seen a WD45 with air conditioning! shucks after the stockholder screwed me outta most of the farm in earlier years that left me with about 73 acres left to farm, i went and bought a 7080 and a big disk, didn't take me long to til it, and I had fun. no longer have the engine for the 7080, but still have a big disk i can't pull with the 7010. i've always wanted an articulated 4x4 tractor...now is the time i think! lol
