Chris727 1,860 Posted November 3, 2007 Thought I'd post some pics I took last weekend. Having planted garden #1 in wheat I had to get next door and finish garden #2. Got the 10ft weeds mowed Tilled it with the 710, here's sort of an action shot: Worked it under pretty good but too soft to push the spreader across. Got out B-110 #2 and disked it, sort of helped compact things a little again, made it alot easier to wheel around the spreader. Seeded it, then disked it, then reseeded it. Hope I'll get a little rain to help it out, altogether I have one whole 1/10th of an acre of wheat, is that enough to justify getting a Gleaner?:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willy 2 Posted November 3, 2007 Maybe next year you can put into soil bank or set aside or what ever they call it now and get paid for not planting.:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfrank1962 62 Posted November 4, 2007 When you buy the Gleaner make sure you get one with a head on it that is as wide as your garden so you only have to make one pass, that way you will save on fuel;) Nice looking gardensm01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MN_FISH 0 Posted November 4, 2007 Why did you plant wheat in the garden? When it’s time to harvest get a Case IH 8010 with a 40’ Macdon. :Dsm06 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could always plow it under in the spring for a green manure crop. The CaseIH is a bit outta the price range, I've had my eye on a Gleaner F or K with 13' head sitting a mile from home, probably could be had for nothing but probably would cost too much to get it going again.

ka9bxg 3 Posted November 5, 2007 I think you should shock it when it is ripe bring in a half scale threshing machine hook it up to the front pulley on your tractor and have fun threshing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
