New mountain range forming in Iowa

NEIDan · Feb 17, 2014

We are working on creating a new Snowy Mountain range across Northeast Iowa

I think that range extends into Canada ! I got six foot high snowbanks from that last storm on Sunday. It's just a bit harder piling it up with my TE-A20 Fergy and a six foot back blade. Sure would like to have a loader and a cab ! Hope you stay warm and safe.

tell us about the backhoe in the background???

NEIDan · Feb 17, 2014

The backhoe is a project I really don't have time for. It is a rare JD 3010 Industrial gas tractor. I think there were only 192 built. I need another loader tractor but I don't think the 3010 is the answer. A fair offer and it is going down the road

We have had several ranges pop up this year too.

Behind the corn crib, south of the barn, west of the granary, and even a range along two sides of the house.

Everyone is running out of places to put that infernal white stuff. LOL.

I was thinking that same thing tonight in central Illinois.
EXCEPT I was running an open station JD compact!

Intercooled 4450, should be plenty of power pushing snow. No snow here, just cold.

NEIDan · Feb 17, 2014

That intercooler was the best investment. It cut my fuel use by 2 to 2 1/2 gal/hr. Tractor is primarily my planter and round baler tractor so don't really use the power.

I really need a card reader on this computer. I got a few ranges here including one that is a windbreak in pasture for horses. Moving one mountain in front yard to an area that will block the 'most wonderful people in the world' next door from shining their flashlight into our wooded area. At least I stopped complaining about him snowblowing onto our propery after they sued us for their survey. I'm doing this with a FEL 2N without a cab ~BRRRRRR~

That's the best reduction in fuel consumption from adding an intercooler I've ever heard,

I am at the southern edge of that range, Mount Vernon.

JimIA · Feb 18, 2014

Where in NE Iowa are you? Im near Decorah. Got about 6-7 inches yesterday.

NEIADan · Feb 18, 2014

I should have mentioned we also had the turbo modified to increase manifold pressure. I have a 4430 set up the same way and am really happy with it as well

NEIDan · Feb 18, 2014

I am 40 miles south of you. 10 miles north of Oelwein. But spend my Tuesday evenings up there at Nob Hill dancing. The only way I know of fighting this cabin fever.

Glaciers forming in Michigan!

How far are you from Calmar? My sister went to NEICC the last 2 years ,that is some pretty country over there. It is way different from the flat lands over in NW Iowa.
