I just got done with the sugar beet thing, didn't even sleep in the next morning, head hurt some ,but that is another story, We got the trucks all converted over to haul beans, then i got my beast running, ie the fertilizer truck, ie the old internstional, with the soillection 2 box on it, well anyway, today the old tender truck dies, we spend part of the morning fixing it, ie no fert is being spread, 4 tractors catch up to me. we then get it back into postion, i am awaiting my fert, however the auger plugs up (or does it) we had not gotten any fert out yet ,but this is what i figure it is, so i am top of the fert truck, i get down we go get some tools, we drive back, i get back on top of the fert truck, get the auger broke loose, then we try to get some fert out still no luck, after much looking i notice the shaft on the bottom does not turn. I drive the fert truck to town to get some fert, i drive back spread my 36 @ then drive back down, i find out in between that the truck is officaly down. we then borrow a tractor trailer from the fert place. this is great excelent machine. only problem i am to far behind and had to runn my ### of till 9.00 tonight to try to get a little ahead. i am sure i am leaving out alot of small stuff ,but we all know how these days go, well i hope that the snow comes right after deer hunting, because it is time to go ridding, and ice fishing, ........ do i hear any seconds on this.

I know how you feel. Were pretty sure were done for the year other then spreading fertilzer. First it was getting to wet to DMI and now the ground is even getting to cold to chisel plow. Looks like the season is pretty much over.

we finished combining and all of our fall work, but we don't have much compared to most people, but our machinery isn't much compared to most either. I would come help out if i could. I know what it is like when you are like that. :hallo2:
