[AT] is it about farming and tractors and all the good FARM stuff.

[Grant Brians]

Between our discs, we usually are changing at least one set per year. As 
a result I am very familiar with the BIG tools for changing disc 
blades.... The oldest Dyer I made the tools for out of steel. I use only 
the nominal 1/4" blades (7MM thickness) never the thinner ones. Also, we 
are using a 1990's Strathmore, a 1950s IH Dyer SO and a 1940s IH Dyer.
      One of these days I'll be using the AC L disc again. All of these 
were manufactured here in California. The AC in Oxnard on the coast and 
the others in the Central Valley where I was yesterday. No Almond 
blossoms yet, too much rain! We had another flood, now the most flooded 
land is up to 4X in January and February.

>> Spencer, I agree.  I do not post much (just read) and didn't have time to talk.  Last week I posted.  Not one response from (((farm people))).  I am a month out of triple by pass and my goal is to be following a 12 row strip tiller with my 5100 White no till planter end of April.  Then will be planting s.b with another White 5100, set up for 19 inch s.b.  One planter pulled with a white 2-150 with a Cummins.  The other tractor will be either a red mm (2270) or a G1355 MM. (with a turbo), very rare.

>> You folks mean a lot to me and I tend to give you  a lot of rope when it comes time to off topic discussions. But it's gotten so it seems like you guys can't  help yourselves.  Every on-topic post seems to be a reason to slide into the abyss of fear and obsession about the government.  Please; one last time: Let's discuss tractors and closely related topics - like farms flooding as the topic might suggest.  I put a lot of time and money into this and I really don't want to spend either on a government conspiracy list.

>> I think what really concerns me the most is every time I mention this , the  list gets totally quiet. Like no one actually even really cares about tractors anymore.  Could that possibly be true?
