Hey Guys! Been a while since I had anything new to post....got the D5 out of the shed, and after changing the oil in all compartments & some other TLC, got
her hooked up to the 800 broken back plow..... .....almost 40 and still dishing
it out.....laying out on the first morning:



....a little closer look....pulling 9 eighteens going 9" deep.....



....my co-pilot Kirby is ready to get back in and get back to work:

Getting towards the end on this patch....almost cut in two here:



....from inside....pyro & manifold pressure gauges on either side of the tach.....



....plowing conditions are just right....

Up on top here, and you just can't beat the view.....Mt Adams over in Washington to the north:



.....and Mt Hood to the west:




......All the best from sunny Oregon!!!

LORDY, LORDY, what I wouldn't give to have some dirt like that .

98J and Sargosailor: 98J, Glad to see you on the net again. Have you had a good winter? Is this close to your haose? Sure enjoyed the tour you gave my wife and I.

Sargosailer, I agree with you that is nice looking dirt, it must be to raise 100 bushel wheat.

Good to see you are back again. Many, many thanks for posting more of your most excellent pictures.

Beautiful photos! Did you accumulate good moisture over the winter? GWH

Some more nice photo's. Question for you, do have your fuel rack opened up on the D5? Not to many guys run pyro and maniflod pressure guages.
Nice looking fields your working their.
Still have snow on the ground here Idaho. I would bet that where were are located folks will not be in field for another 2-3 weeks depending on the weather. We will certaiinely take the mositure though, hopefully we will all have a good year ahead of us.
Good the see that Kirby is still riding shotgun.

I wonder if your D5SA 98J has wide gauge and straight drive and i think i saw turbo too right? and i wonder if it s the same Cat D5 96J series or not??I always like Cat D5 96Jseries. Thanks:D

Hey Darrol!! Yup, had a pretty good winter....wish it would stop being winter and warm up....the wheat sure could use some growing weather. Yes, the pictures above were taken not too far from our house....just down the ridge a little ways. Hope all is well there in Kansas.
