Nice Tractor

The guys that farm our property have new Deere's, they used to have IH's (their father is rolling in his grave), They can make one pass down and half way back before they have to dump in my 177 acre field.....We have about 450 farmable total, we split it about 60/40 between corn and soybeans, and of course we rotate every year and we are on soil erosion protection so everything we do is no-till unless we have water run-off damage....
Pitsticks is the biggest ones in Highland, Pickaway and Fayette counties, Atley's (Cat Pulling Team Atley's) has alot of Greene county.....Swing up by the bio-diesel plant up on 238 going into Bloomingburg and check out the pile of grain they will have in about 2 1/2 months
Probably a 30-40 foot folding drill.....
We've dropped grain all over Fayette but mostly to the mill in Chillicothe, I remember waaaaay back in the day riding with grandpa hauling grain up your way......I remember my mom stopping at the 4 way on Washington-Waterloo and getting in with my grandfather.....We used to have some good friends that lived (some may still live) in New Holland, a few guys that raced at 35 lived up there, Stuckey was the guys last name I believe.....
Rt. 32 that runs east to west across southern ohio is a direct route to the big grain yard down at the river at Cincinnati and they would be nailing guys 24/7 at 100, 110, and 120K.....
Friend of mine did this one year, he was driving a semi truck hauling them, i dont know how he pulled it off but he barely had his CDL and they had him transporting the combines, he is cruising down the freeway at like 45-50 mph and 10 of the other trucks pull out and pass him doing 70-75, they get on the radio and yell at him to hurry up, he came back with "I dont want to tear up something", the head guy comes back with "Thats what insurance is for, now move your a*s..."
Last guy I worked for we used a couple of 14 bottom plows and I can't even remember how many heads there were on that planter but it stretched out into the sunset. At harvest time the 24 row corn head came out on the big Cat Combine. Three semi's and four gravity wagons and we still couldn't keep up with that combine.
