Been working on digging water lines into paddocks for more stock watering tanks. Plus running electrical underground for the electric fence. Have got about 10 hours dig time on the mini excavator. Other than that not a lot real exciting going on. Some people harvesting barley and rapeseed but we still remain on hold. Another week or so and we should be harvesting again. The old tractor was at a farm we went to yesterday where we are storing barley. Roger said it was from England. And the Gleaner combine was very near here. Dallas I thought you would enjoy. Quite a few Gleaners here just not this old. If my memory serves me it was a L2 model? Warm here today. Upper 80's pushing 90 degrees and full sun. The picture of the irrigation ditch is the dams they use to flood their fields. Don't have but a couple left on this farm as the pivots have replaced them. The box on top holds a clock and at a pre determined time it releases the metal gate into the ditch to back the water up. Those of you that have seen me use the orange canvas dams in Montana should know that this is a Big step ahead. Watch the video in next post and you'll see how it works.
