Some ditch work in the kingdom

jon f mn · Jun 3, 2019

Started cleaning out the ditches this weekend, altho it's still too wet in some spots. But the old dependable DC did it's job well.

After it drains for a few days and dries some I'll go back and Finnish so it all looks like the good part. Wish I could have done this last fall, would have gained a few acres and some would have been dryer. Oh well, guess you can't do it all at once.
Its working

Yea, yea you can do it all at once if you ain't a slacker.......me? I'm a slacker! :lol:

Looks good.

Back in the they would have used a team of oxen and a big vee plow to make/clean those ditches.

All it takes is a strong back and a weak mind, course I resemble that remark.

jon f mn · Jun 3, 2019

I'm a slacker too, must have
spent 4 or 5 hours in my
favorite chair on the deck
this weekend. Total waste of
time. Lol

Every Kingdom needs a Mote. Where in MN do you find gators to stock it??----------Loren

jon f mn · Jun 3, 2019

No gaters in MN, but a big old Northern or sturgeon would out the fear into most. Lol.

Jon, I noticed there is a SOCP in your picture.

tomturkey · Jun 3, 2019

But it is YOUR time to waste, recover, rethink, and RELAX. Now that they have tiled out about 60 acres upgrade from me my occasionally wet water way is a swamp, I'll need to ditch it or pattern tile, bee really really bad this year. gobble

jon f mn · Jun 3, 2019

There is, now that you mention it. Guess I'll get a lot higher resale value when I sell it then.

nice job!!!!

Lazy WP · Jun 3, 2019

What loader do you have on the old DC?

jon f mn · Jun 3, 2019

It's a Schwartz brand.

Lazy WP · Jun 3, 2019

Is the DC new enough for foot clutch and live power? My DC4 is and my old DC3 was. It was a combination of a 51 motor on a 53 rearend, I think. Been a long time since I sold it. My DC4, Grandpa bought new in 55. Amazing tractors.

flying belgian · Jun 3, 2019

That DC is an awesome dirt machine.

jon f mn · Jun 4, 2019

Yes it is. Live power, foot clutch dual hydraulic and eagle hitch.

How can you see to get the tile line straight? You know, because of the socp!

jon f mn · Jun 4, 2019

You are not the first idiot from an I state to try to tell us how to farm here, all that tried ended up loosing everything and working in a factory or something. Why you would try to put tile where the whole thing is below the water table is a real mystery. But even if you were stupid enough to try, you don't have enough John Deeres on that to pull it on my farm. I think it's best if you stay where farming is easy.

jon f mn · Jun 4, 2019

They just don't tile the 75 acres they can't see on the left.

Jon, Sounds like you need to set for a while and chill out

big tee · Jun 4, 2019

Idiot-Wow---Coming from someone who can't keep a job for more than a few months! How many different jobs have you had in the last couple of years? Last fall you plowed up and down the hill for the water to run--you should be in jail for that. Leave the farming to people that know what they are doing and go back to town!!!!!!!!!!!

jon f mn · Jun 4, 2019

Before this job I had the same one for 12 years. And the drainage I did last fall was just fixing existing drainage that was damaged by former farmers, likely no smarter than you. And open ditching is the norm here because there is not enough drop to create erosion, and the water table is so high that tile doesn't work. You should limit your advice to things you actually know about and not try to give advice above your abilities.

jon f mn · Jun 4, 2019

Tired of him and a couple
others poking at me for the
last year. Why don't you
scolded him for poking at me
over and over? If he would
just leave me alone I would
too. This is on my post, I didn't go to him and poke at him. But he's still mad about
a years old grudge that was
his own doing.

big tee · Jun 4, 2019

Did you get fired from your last jobs because your always on here posting instead of working and got caught or did the bank get your truck?

big tee · Jun 4, 2019

I did not know that you OWNED this site!! Oh boo hoo--everybody is always picking on me boo-hoo-GROW UP!

jon f mn · Jun 4, 2019

My leaving dart was well documented here for all to see. Speaking of jobs, you ever had one? Or you still living in mom's basement riding out daddy's money til it's gone?

big tee · Jun 4, 2019

You are a weird little man--your jealousy is showing through you ignorance!!

jon f mn · Jun 5, 2019

I am weird, might be the first true and accurate thing you've said. I did notice you didn't address your employment status, figured you wouldn't want to talk about that.

e know your good at name calling, and avoiding anything you don't like. Hipocracy is a way of life for you.
