Hello all, I'm new to the forum. I am from North Idaho where we farm wheat and legumes, no famous potatoes here. We have a total of four cats, a 1941 D4 2T with a blade , a 1962 D6B 44a, 1973 D4D 84J, and 1974 D6C 17R. The last three are ag cats. I have pics of all especially the last two, I will see if I can post one now.

Just wondering, is there a way to make the image appear in the post without a link or is that how it normally works?

I will post a few more to give a sample of what I have, over on farm photo I have an entire thread of 10 pics or more that each of these came off of.

That first was the D6C with a 42ft wilrich cultivator.

Here is the D4D seeding winter wheat with a 24ft great plains drill.

To post photo, before you click on the post reply button, look over the screen and you will find a button "manage attachments". Click on that button, and a window will come up. Then click on the individual buttons, one at a time, browse for your photo on your computer, click open, etc. It just comes naturally (I hope). GWH

Great Pics ; from a former Montana farmer; who farmed with just a LA Case

Nice pics. I could see from the pictures that you had to be somewhere near by. I'm about 40mi from you, near Moscow. I liked the picture of you pushing snow. After last winter, I bought a D2 for that very purpose!

great pics!!!

Yep last winter was a wakeup call for some people, had one neighbor call wanting help with the starting engine on an old cat when his driveway filled up with 5ft snowdrifts overnight. 7ft drifts on the county roads in some spots here, 4ft of snow on the level in the woods. I think this winter will be bad also, at least later on. So far is has been very warm but that will change soon. One thing I have noticed over the years is that snowy winters run in pairs and also this is a 20 year winter. the winters of 48-49, 68-69, and 88-89 where all the snowiest in their decade so 08-09 may be also. So get that D2 ready!

I will post some more pics of snow plowing later.

Really enjoy to see different farming country , and the Caterpillars working that lovely soil . Regards, peter. downunder !
