TRUE STORY: A buddy of mine just out of high school went to work for a local trucking company. Not over the road or anything, just local work. Gravel, grain hauling kind of stuff. Anyway, they gave him a purple truck to drive. The owner bought the truck used and that's what color it was. Because of the truck we started calling him "Barney". Well, the name stuck, but we shortened it to just "Barn". That is now his official nick name. His family owned a welding shop (they recently sold out, but they all went to work for the new owners) and on his shirt, sure enough, it says Barn. Well, my turn for the night. Guys I'm about beat. We've cut on average, 80 acres of beans a day since Sunday. That and I've been keeping things here at the shop at bay. I did take all day off from the shop today and work on the farm. We still aren't even half done. We haven't shelled corn since Sunday, and we have around 350-400 acres of beans left to cut. Here's a couple shots from our little corner of Illinois. Pretty nice sunset, and a cool pic of the local mill at night. Come on guys, anyone else have any stories or pics? BTW, I've spent most of my time in semi's with much longer trailers (at least 42'). This little 26' dump is a PITA to back!! It's just too damn short! LOL!

On a similar note, and it may not be a nickname, but I still get crap from the guys every time we get a real windy day. A few years back, we were getting ready to finish up for the day. It was turning cloudy, and quite windy; I think a storm was blowing in. Anyway, we were talking about the weather over the radio and idk if I was distracted, not thinking straight, or if it was the beverage I was enjoying, but I came back across with something like "Yeah, it looks pretty blowy out there." As soon as I clicked off the radio, I thought to myself "wtf did I just say?" A moment of silence on the radio then the boss comes back "Did you just say...blowy?" The rest of that year, every time we'd all meet up at the shop at the end of the day, they'd find some way to work that into our conversation. It's become a running joke ![]() Anyway, thanks for the pics, I always enjoy seeing what others are up to

Another night, another machine...or two. So far, I've run a different machine every night I've been on the farm this year. Tonite, I moved the T8030 back to the shop from the field, then ran the T8 330 until about 8:30. Got a good amount done today. As the night grew, I followed the combine through the field. I also snapped a panoramic pic of the cab, didn't turn out great, but hope ya'll enjoy anyway. Enjoy the pics, guys

For no good reason at all, while on lunch today at jon #1, I outlined some of our fields and the main farm on a map so y'all can kinda see what we're up against. The only thing really different about the farm from the pic is now there's a 60,000bu bin in the back, I drew in where it is. I also left out a few small fields that didn't happen to fall into the area I had, and I put in the size of a couple of our bigger fields for those out there that can picture it
Hope you enjoy!

Done with corn. Averaged 170 bu corn and 50 bu beans so far. Test on corn ran around 58. Beans, 56-58. Picked a lot of corn at 15% give/take. Beans have been all over the place. Anywhere from 16 all the way down to 9%. Ready to be done. Some of the greeenest damn stems I've ever cut, thank God for the specialty rotor.

Did some corn transfer yesterday. The main farm is getting full so we have to now take dried corn from the main farm to the bosses house which has a 25k bin at it. After a couple loads, I noticed the PTO shaft on the auger starting to smoke, and eventually make sparks
Told the boss man about it who checked it out and greased it up real good. Didn't help. So, since he's got spare parts but had other things that needed done, gave the order "quitting time is when it blows up" It ran the rest of the night until we quit at about dark. We couldn't figure out if it was a U Joint or the ball joint at the center, but I'm sure it'll tell us when it's ready. Anywho, here is a video of the sparks in action and a shot of the unloading setup. Enjoy ![]() http://youtu.be/Dqlj670-lNk?list=UUn...fZ46XiES0Fo3KA

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.
