all 25 acres are in and done with new hay seeding. Here are some pics from this morning. Awoke to snow, my kind of fertilizer lol. Percentages are timothy 60, Alfalfa and treefoil each 10, brome and orchard grass brings it up to 100%. Wow I have certainly never finished before April 1, and my 86 year uncle has never seen it either. Every morning would see temps around freezing and warm by 4pm into the fourties. With the wind that means COLD! Yee ha!

The 170 acts like it just rolled off the assembly line. It does burn/blow oil, like mowing hay at pto speed if I am on hills going downhill getting pushed smoke will come out. I don't know if it's valve guides or rings or a combination. It also has just 3000 some hours on original working tack. On a big mowing hay all day on hills I can add 2 quarts. On level ground it doesn't use hardly any. But power she has lots, and everything works as if new. I can start it cold, back up to equipment, disengage just hi-lo and she just sits there. Handiest tractor. And not too bad on fuel either, like 2.5 gals an hour doing what I've been doing. It takes power, lots of it, playing in the deep dirt! Now I can get back to the XT fuel flow [not enough] issues. I am going to repull the sediment bowl assemblies and see why when I unhook main fuel line feeding the hand primer I do NOT GET a full stream of fuel as I should. Be safe out there! Dana Actually I was just thinking 25 acres this past week I disced and dragged twice and seeded once so thats 125 acres. I have added 3 quarts of oil, but as I say there was no going downhill getting pushed and her blowing out blue smoke while pulling what I have been pulling. And I burned about 60 gallons this past week of gas. |
