Got a couple acres that "needed" plowing. Rain was coming so I forgot to take any pics but did get a short http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl4TCqP8ZFo" rel="nofollow - video . Adjusted the plow shortly after it was taken so it did a better job of rolling over the first furrow instead of standing it up. First time using the CA traction booster, worked great. It was kinda fun, haven't plowed in 20+ years. |

Tried disking without the drawbar control and it was a struggle. Cut up some old 3 point arms and extended them to make the traction booster work, that helped quite a bit. My tires are bald which work good for mowing but not so great in the soft dirt. Got a new set of wheels and tires from Lon(MN) and that made a big difference. He has an incredible AC collection by the way, hope I didn't drool too bad.   |

Ready to roll, you can see the new work shoes actually have some tread on them. |

Planted a strip of food plot for the critters but the sand hills aren't going to wait for it to come up. |

Cool to see the CA working, but I really like seeing the Sand Hill Cranes. They migrate through Gainesville every spring. Tons of them fly in. They can make some noise! It's music to my ears!

| We get more sand hills around here every year. Later that day I was under the overhang of the shop and a couple more flew over, one dropped down with the other two and I thought the other kept going, it ended up landing 30' from me. They have beautiful colors, and the sound is like something out of Jurassic Park! |
