98J.....first a trip with the weeders....got to work the other morning before the

The Cat looks sorta familiar. Are you somewhere up around Dufur? Have I seen the rig from the state highway? I've seen your great pictures times before, just never got around to asking. I live just over the ridge from you but never get tired of looking at our mountains, or Cats! Your pics are always welcome. Thanks.

The big one--east fork of the Cascades! I'm in Hood River County. Ten miles east of Dufur, that's not the one I'm thinking I may have seen. I get up that way every now and then, drove around a lot with my dad when he was alive. We probably were near there at some time.

Really neat pics 98J. If you are planting 100 lbs per acre it looks like one would spend as much time filling the drill boxes as one does drilling. 😉

Here in the wastelands of NW KS we usually drill 60 to 70 pounds per acre. A lot of JD hoe drills used here and each 10 ft section holds a little under 30 bu. (1800 lb) Even with that capacity, it seems one is always needing to refill. My rich neighbor got a 40' JD air drill and a 250 bu tank!! He can drill all day with one filling!!

Keep the pictures coming!!

What fantastic pictures, I'm sure lots of enthusiasts from here in UK would pay you to work in such nice surroundings, still, I guess it's not so nice all the time !

Yo Jack! Well, if you saw a D5 like mine along US 197 RECENTLY it probably
was on the H.A. Miller Ranch just before you get to Dufur. Ten years ago, you
would have seen a whole bunch of D5's between The Dalles & Dufur.....they were like a navel....everybody had one. 🙄 Keep things under control
over there in Hood River. 😊

Yo Jim, ya little Dickens! Yup, spend a lot of time cuddled up to the seed truck......in fact, I set my drills with my watch....if I can drain them in an hour,then the rate is just right. Fill time is pretty quick, so it's real easy to
knock out 100+ acres a day.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
