I do like to use my equipment whenever I can. It is no fun just
to let the stuff set in a line, hoping that no one touches it or that
it might get scratched. I figure that the equipment can always be
repainted again someday.
Here is my RE running a burr mill at Antique Acres in Cedar Falls, IA
in 2005
Here is my RC pulling 2-14s at Marshalltown. Yes, 2-14s are
a little much for a tractor rated originally at 1-16. That is why
I wanted a larger tractor to pull the plow. Parts for the RC are
too hard to come by to be overloading it. But it doesn't do too
bad of a job plowing.
Here is the RC binding oats at Heritage Park in Forest City, IA in
2005. The third picture is what happens when you shut a hot
tractor off in the field and it doesn't want to start
again. As you can see, I had plenty of help and advice -
mostly bad. After everyone cranked it for a while it finally
started just as the tow tractor arrived. It was good
entertainment for everyone involved.
I even will move houses with my RC. Also at Heritage Park in 2005.
I don't have a picture of my new "shiny" plow in the field, but here is
proof it also gets dirty.
