Here is our workhorse, its a 1948 G we used to till the ground, and do some cultivating as we have 2 large gardens. It is mostly used in the garden, and rarely goes to shows, but we do take it some. ------------- 30+ A-Cs ranging from a 1928 20-35, to a 1984 8070FWA, Gleaner R52 |

My family raises sustainably grown lettuce, radishes, cabbage, carrots, onions, tomatoes, okra etc. etc. Our hard clay is a challenge because crops frequently get drowned out in spring rains, but I'm hoping to do some ditching and bed shaping with a rotary plow. As I mentioned in the walk-behind post, we've got Gravely and BCS walkbehinds for gardening, and we also use several Earthway seeders to plant many crops. I'm hoping to have my B ready to plow and cultivate corn for the summer after next. The WD mostly gets used for bush hogging and pulling out stuck vehicles... I'd love to plow with it, but the back rims are about shot. ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |

To start out I haul in manure with this
 Then spread it with this
 Then till it in with these
  Then plant with this
 and maybe this if I get a hitch made for it
 Cultivate with this
  and harvest with this...sometimes

Love those butternut squash! Wish mine would get that big! I have a Seaman Tiller on my WD. How deep do you go with yours on the veggie gardens? How thick you spread the muck? I'm wondering if I go too deep sometimes. No clay here..black sandy loam....built up over the years with mulch......red sand below that. You sure have enuff equipment!!! ------------- Life is short...Make haste to be kind |

Nelson 200 series Big Gun, I water about 6 acres with this. I have 4 risers in a line E-W, just unclamp the gun, clamp on the plug, move to the next riser They are about 250ft apart giving a good overlap. Gun puts out a 220 foot radius if the wind isn't blowing lol. That's with a 1 inch nozzle, 350 gpm at 120 psi One of 2 , 880 foot long wheel lines. Waters about 1.5 acres/set. With both running, it doesn't take too long to get the watering done.  |

Eldon : looks like rocks and houses grow good in your area also . How soon before them houses push you out from all that dust, noise, and complaints you don't get your food from the grocer where most people do . ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

4 row precision seeder. In this photo I am using it with the clod pushers down on the 2 outside rows to cut furrows for onion transplants. By using the seeder to cut furrows for my transplants, I know the row spacing is always proper for cultivating with the G Side view of seeder. Clod pushers in front, dual disc openers, V-wheel tampers. PTO turns vacuum pump which gives excellent singulation of seeds. I use it to seed everything from tiny herb seeds to winter squash. By changing seed plates, and the gear ratio it will seed at anywhere from 1.5 inch to 6 feet spacing in the rows. I usually set it to slightly overseed so 2-3 seeds drop instead of 1.  |

Ford 5030 62hp 4WD tractor. I use it for seeding and spraying, discing, packing etc. Also use the loader for just about anything you can imagine. 2400lb capacity so unloading totes of feed is a breeze. Old 8 foot spring tooth harrow on the back |

Steve, that is sweet looking. Here is my 1st ever tractor. A Case195. Used it when I was still farming 1.5 urban acres in PDX. Was perfect for getting right up to the wall in my greenhouses.

23hp. 12 ft wide cultipacker  9 ft wide 3pt disc. My next purchase of equipment will be a 12 ft disc with a sprocket roller to pull behind the John Deere. Also, know where I can buy a heavy harrow/roller combo just up the road. Need to dig my self out of the hole before I buy any more equip, though.  |

7 foot wide Maschio B series tiller. Almost never gets used. As my soil has improved through proper management, chisel, disc and cultipacker gives a perfect seedbed in a fraction of the time using a fraction of the fuel. This thing is a beast, though. It gets most of its use grinding in cover crops and crop residue before chiseling or discing. Wind guage so I know how to set the irrigation:  |

Walk behind, battery powered greens harvester for using with the high density seeder: A field of lettuce I harvested several times over a month, then let go to see. In this .2 acre there were 100,000s of lettuces with flower stalks 4 feet high...this is after just 1 pass with the Maschio tiller...now it is all worm food.  |
