I had around 20 acres of beans I cut for hay last year, chisled and disc one time and it has been wet since last fall. Wanted to drill in wheat for hay but ended up with oats .

 Pictures look a lot better if you click the preview button in the upper right corner of the file manager page and change the size settings before posting it.
Just keep the ratio of the two the same. Second pic here is 800 wide and 451 high.

I wish I could get out and play in some dirt. I couldn't even get to my deer plot to frost seed some clover last week. The snow is gone now, but it's never dried out on top for more than a couple hours here, before raining or snowing again.

I normally feed with a truck but I unrolled most of the time this year which explains the nasty 8010

We only have about 2-3 feet of snow left. Maple sap is just beginning to run, about 3 weeks late. Bob@allisdowneast

If you could of hit that mud whole with another 10 MPH you might have made it. Sorry I could help a little poking,  feeding in the mud is such trouble.
Even been extra muddy out here in the almost desert  . I had not found any big mud wholes spraying thistle  ,so I tried working the sweet corn patch. The chisel plow might have been ok,but had flat tires.  The disc broke 2 mud scrapes off  ,cleaned it out and 10 minites  and the second one went.  But the big slabs have melted in the rain last night.

Here at home we're expecting to get a foot through early tomorrow morning. At other farm about 9 miles away, another 600' higher in elevation, expecting 18-22". At least the sap is flowing well, good sugar levels too.

That driver was pretty talented, he didn't even get the tires dirty.
