The farmer who is renting our field plowed it yesterday. He found some huge boulders with his equipment. He asked if he could bring his little tractor (80 HP) and dig them out with the bucket, DH offered to take our big tractor (42 HP) out there with the backhoe and help dig them out. Farmer was happy to hear we have a tractor with a backhoe, lol.
 
Rocks, I find those EVERYWHERE I dig!!!

Yay for no more physical therapy. I bet you are looking forward to the next replacement. After that you will feel years younger :D

Wow. Really hard on the other people there but if ya gotta go (and we all do sometime) quick is good.
 
I need to plant the (flower) bulbs that I purchased about month ago. Some of my successful planting is overturned by squirrels digging them back up. I think I have a plan to foul their efforts. I will place moth balls on top of ground where I bury the bulbs. That should stay active long enough for the ground to freeze ,,,
I have used with success moth balls this year in my flower containers. (kept squirrels out) The Critter Ridder, which is quite more expen$sive does work but, I did run out of it this past season.
 
My wife's cousin used to plant black walnuts.
He laid chicken wire on top of them to deter the squirrels and chip monks.
There was a lady in town they called the squirrel lady. she bought walnuts and peanuts by the hundred pounds. I kept telling her that the squirrels were not eating all those nuts, they are just storing them. I told her that there was not a hollow tree in the neighborhood that wasn't chuck full of nuts.. She also fed the raccoons.. Had wild cats in her house that she never could get close enough to pet.
She died about 4 years ago. but I'll bet the squirrels are still well stocked with nuts.

It never fails, just as the warm weather is over and the cold sets in, the tractor decides to lose oil pressure. My garage is not heated. I really do not like the thought of working on a pile of frozen metal..
maybe I will do nothing about it until spring.

Do you know exactly what is causing the low oil pressure??? Could be a faulty gauge?

Rich, it is the pump. I disconnected the lint to the pressure guage and took the oil filter off.. there is no oil getting to either place.
Today is opening day of deer hunting . So I imagine that
guy who I want to fix my tractor is off for the next 9 days.
lots of businesses just close down for deer hunting.
the last two deers I got were with my cars. That got too
expensive, so I quit driving. :lau :old
