Cool pics Ryan!! Thanks to all you guys sharing! I was really interested in how things compare around the country.

It's really wet here. REALLY wet. Everyone (except us it seems) is up on tracks. As of yet, we aren't. Mainly hitting high, dryer ground right now. No tillage this fall. We went back to the field on Saturday after a 3 week out due to rain and just wanting the corn to field dry some more. Went back to corn on Saturday and it hadn't dried a bit. It was 30% went we quit 3 weeks ago, 30% + now, as the wettest I tested today was 34%. Started in soybeans today too. They tested around 15% which was great. Cut 50 acres of beans today and we didn't even start till 3:00! While they were cutting beans, I shelled corn and had to haul my own. The dryer we have is a bin dryer and you can outrun it pretty quick in 30% corn with the combine we're using. So, it was just about right to shell a load, haul it in and go back. I shelled about 20 acres today.

Without further ado..... some pics. My daughter was the rider today.

Good pics, John! And yikes on the moisture Some guys around here are still trying to wait it out for it to field dry some more, but at this point, might as well get it off the ground before it's too late. Hope things get sunny down there for you and take a few points off.

no corn harvest here in NY yet. everyone is combining soybeans right now. corn is still just a tad green yet. my neighbor picked a few gravity wagon loads of ear corn to throw in the crib but can't keep his two gravity wagons together and the picker keeps throwing gathering chains.

Well, it may not be direct harvest, but it did happen during harvest time so here's my chore for the day. Tonight, I was on batwing duty. Got a good chunk done but still plenty to do. Some of the stuff was taller than the tractor At one point, the tractor started smoking so I pulled out of the waterway and let it cool down. Got out to check and turns out all the dried out "crap" from those 10+ foot tall weeds had gotten onto the head/turbo and started smoking. Let it cool down for a few and I was back in business. Worked till dark then called it, that TW-30 basically has flashlights for headlights Anyway, on to the pics!

What are those old TW's like to run Ryan? Decent cab, tranny, engines? I can only think of 1 TW in probably a 60 mile radius here. I have no idea where you'd get parts or service for one of those. Guy that has it has a lot of oddball stuff, a Case (2290?), an 856, I think a NH Genesis, Deere Maximizer combine. (Not that an 856, Genesis & Maximizer are oddballs, they're all pretty good)

The Ford/New Holland Genesis; one of my all time favorite tractors. That was the cart tractor I spent THE most time in and I wish it was still around. I loved that slap shifter, the looks were so sweet to me, and the controls were just plain simple to use. But anyway...

I've run that TW a good amount over the last couple years on a grain cart, wagons, and that batwing. The first one I started on was a TW-35, spent quite a bit of time in that one, actually. Hauled a LOT of corn from field and between farms in wagons in that thing. I'll say this; good amount of power, solid "dual power" trans, but creature comforts are minimal. No AC, seat is...ok at best, radio is crappy, doors rattle at this point (after how many years?), but overall, I like them (outside temp pending ). They seem to be all over around here.

Alright guys, here's today's update. The new truck broke down, it has a knock that was determined to either be a valve seat or an injector. Anyway, old mostly faithful came out to play, and I was running it. Enjoy, gentleman!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
