One of my wife's boys has a John Deere 336 square baler that we're gonna get. Just need to find a way to get it up here. I don't have a trailer large enough to carry it nor do I have a way to get it off the trailer unless it can roll off. But I think he's gonna borrow a big equipment trailer and deliver it. We'll see.

So the only thing I don't have is a mower. I'm looking for a good deal on a PTO driven sickle bar mower since that would be the least expensive way to go. And we only have about 9 acres so that should be fine.

I have the rake. I think it's really cool. 60s vintage Oliver 207, 5 bar, ground driven rake. The guy I bought it from replaced everything on it, painted it, and then sold it to me for a song.

Nice.

I worked my grandparent's dairy farm in Wisconsin as a kid some but don't remember much from that other than picking rocks, killing barn kittens, pigeons, and teasing the bull.

I used to help a friend hay years ago. Want to say a Deere 5200? Circa 1990 ish. Nice break from IT work, but you're a slave to the weather, time, and the sun.

That 336 is a good baler. If loaded pto/3pt to the rear on a trailer with ramps you should be able to back up ramps hook up 3pt and pull it off with tractor.

Nice tractor. I bought my first one in 2016 and it made me wonder how I survived for 55 years without a tractor. I have a JD 3 Series right now and I'm wanting to upgrade to a 4 Series. But, my wife keeps saying we need food and shelter and blah, blah, blah more than we need a bigger tractor. I don't buy it but I guess my upgrade will have to wait.

I did pick up a 65 Ford 4000 at a really good price a few months ago. It's a project for when it cools off a little bit. It's gonna be my hay-baling tractor....when I get a baler. And a mower.

The Ford is a work horse, am trying to work a trade for a 4000 for my 52 8N. Old guy wants to restore one and mine is a perfect candidate but he hates to pay for tires and the 8N needs all four.

The new Massey replaces our early 80's 1030 Massey that is getting really hard/impossible to get parts for. Am buying a king pin bearing kit from a guy in Germany because there are none I can find in North America.

The problem is my trailer has rails on it and the baler won't clear the rails. So wife's son is trying to find a flat bed trailer. The only issue I have with this particular 336 is it's wire tie instead of twine. Wire is 3 times the price of twine.

New knife arrived...backordered for 3 months. Kershaw Livewire 9000 OTF. Way nicer than my Microtech UTX-85.

Nice!

Very much like the Benchmade Phaeton but with better (well harder anyway) steel and $100 less.

Wife decided she wanted to try laser engraving tumblers and glass.

I bought this pile of wood and its turned in to this...so far...lets see what it turns into next.




there are a couple of other things in one picture too.

What is going on the floor?

Like how you caught the planes in the background, what are those? One kinda looks like a C130.


Also looks like someone is pee-ing in the corner over there.......
