I have three kids 9, 7, and 4. Last year I had a Cat 120 and 200. All three would fight over who got the 200. As anyone who has been around a 120 much knows they are quite limited as to where they can go. This year we traded the 120 for another 200 and plan to turn the 200 down when my four...

I have lost more canola in the swath then any other way. The joy's of living in windy southern Alberta. The pod shatter resistant canola has been a good fit for our operation. We are caught up on combining (only have five to six days left) and are currently seeding some fall rye.

How come you swathed it? Trying to speed things up?

I live/farm southeast of Calgary. This is year four of the drought in our area. The best of our crops were wiped out last week by hail. I’m more than with you when you say fawk this weather!!

People who complain about rain while I watch my crops burn up! ;)

Last 3 have been the 3500HD with the Duramax that I have bought new. Currently driving a 2018 that has almost 60000km on it. Have had nothing major with any of them. Each one was back to the dealership only once for work beyond regular maintenance (Map sensor, emissions fault, etc.). Been happy...

Finished seeding last night. All of our wheat, peas and lentils are up already. Doing the rain dance now!

The cosmetics look pretty good. If your going to spend money and time on paint I would suggest waiting until you are ready to sell it. I would however cut the the corks off the tracks. It is unlikely you will need them and they are hard on trailers and typically add stress on the rails, rollers...

Good buy! You should be happy with it!

LOL! I would be way more nervous about that new tenant of yours and his shoty new drill!

LOL! I can't give them away!

If you don’t plan to bale it not cutting it is your best option. Leaving the swath on the ground too long will kill everything under it.

Did you end up buying a dozer?

We are working towards the same goal on our farm. Get rid of as many obstacles as we can. Out of the dozer, excavator and scraper the dozer gets used the least. That said we are not clearing brush or trees as the farm is in southern Alberta. Not trying to sound negative, but I think you will...

Not worried or offended. I understand the confusion. I have a small core drilling business located in BC and we need a couple small cats for moving the rigs and minor road work. Also, recently purchased a small mine (a group of us). In those instances it makes sense because the machines are or...

At 5000hr on a pre emission machine you should still be watching for wear on the hard nose, hard bar, under carriage and bushings on blade and ripper. Motor and transmission should have life left in them, but electrical is known to cause issues especially in the years you are looking at. I...

What exactly are planning to do with it? I have 6R with a VPAT blade that I use on the farm. After owning one and seeing that it is a continual money pit I would suggest renting or leasing for your projects sending it back when your done.

I’m new. Who wants to go riding? I require you to bring a 24 pack for me, at least two other buddies to help with my excessive stucks and a personal tracking device to put on me so I can wander off whenever I feel like it (mainly so you can find me and get my sled unstuck while I enjoy one of...

I spent the afternoon following my 3yr old son around the farm on his 120, last Thursday I rode near Fernie with friends, Saturday before last my 9yr old daughter and I rode nearly 25 miles (she has a little snow scoot). Snowmobiling may be a bit of an obsession for me, but as long as I am able...
