Mill em', then run-em...

Sweet! bring me those LOGS! I found some more lighter pines that might be big enough for cants but if not we can leave them to the 16in and under bars... I need to start finding me some 20-40in logs!

Levi ran the little homie 12" today... He's thinking it wants a piece of the old Mac Steve...
You better bring it... As far as Ed's 5700, he's got a slow 56 cc Deere that might be a contender there... :msp_sneaky:

Actually used the MiniWards today, slicing and dicing a bunch of box elder shoots. It ain't a bad saw for stuff like that. I wonder if using Tordon for bar oil will hurt it?

I got a set of rings in this weekend for the 264F Oly, we'll see what it can do when I'm done.

I still haven't torn into the XP1000 to see what sorta bad things happened under the clutch cover over at Specters.

Find someone else to do your fieldwork....:msp_biggrin:

I know you must have stayed up to late to say that as it makes no sense to pay others to do work you can do yourself

Can't see ur pics... As for loading it, where are they? Redfield or Carroll? If they are in Redfield, Doug and I might be able to come out with the ToolCAT and load them. Doug has the coolest wood cutting/moving tools!

I can see them fine, try refreshing. Well it is 4'6"x5' and in Carroll. As far as Redfield I am sure we could dig some logs up!

I just cannot see paying someone to do work that I can do myself. According to Mark H. everyone will be done by then. October 6th is only 47 days away and a lot can change in that time period but I doubt the majority of people will be done by then.

When I was getting ready to leave for Baraboo Thursday a neighbor stopped by and said that the guys in the south bay were going to combine corn this week. It will be interesting to see that. We need to chop silage this year but the corn is several weeks away from being ready. There is no way I can open the field up with the combine yet. The beans are still setting pods also.

On one good note my son will not have a football game that Saturday.

Our corn is done here... What there was of it...
Beans won't run till probably end of October or 1st of November...

Guys are just starting to make the insurance calls in some areas here...then the chopping begins. Others will be forced to harvest but with a rare two ear stalk at best it doesn't look good.

We've seen anything from 101 - 60 Bushel corn... Some fellas chopped in July after giving up all hope of precip..
We try to avoid doing that, cause the cost of potassium to replace what's taken is so high.

You Ill people are backwards. Open em up with the chopper here and combine when it's dry.

Not gonna comment on what the corn looks like locally, don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

Choppers should be rolling next week if not sooner up here.

Today in western Iowa I saw serveral corn fields already picked. That's a good thing to me. Will be able to get some logs out of the fields sooner.

for sure Doug! I am hoping to pull the log piles from down by martensdale before the GTG. Looks like some 6400 and 395 husky fun to me!!!
