485, looking forward to running it.[/QUOTE]
Scotts did you purchase a 485HP quadtrack to pull 54 feet? If so, that thing will idle through the seeding season.... You are looking forward to the wet seeding season to see what will get you stuck?
From my track experience, do not dig in. Once you start spinning stop, unhook, the track will always walk out. Buy a good toe rope to pull the drill out.
Else, trackhoe...
Yup, still pulling the 5710, wish I was looking back at a 3320 xtc.but no such luck! Hopefully it works well, it has a 16 foot degelman blade on it and it worked really well for plowing, The spinning issues is the same with plowing, once the tracks spin your done, looking forward to it on some big hills too.
At this point I'd take wet over the fledgling beginning of the next ice age!

Those Degelmans are the cats ass, for plowing snow.
Yes 3320, sold out for 2014 already! Were you the guy cleaning off all your fields along hwy 16 west of Vermilion this winter?
Ice age, if we're not careful, beaverhill lake will re-fill again!

well finished off tonight, now to get a weekend of sleding in before spraying begins
Really, fawk, Scotts will be swinging from the overpass now!
Couldn't you at least wait a week before telling us northerners? Bet you can get some custom work if you want to come north....

Holy crap how much do you farm? We're only 3 days into seeding and running about 18 hour days already, we're that far behind.

three thousand, getting calls for custom... But checked germ on Tuesday, and I do my burnoff prior to emergence since we start ussally as quick as we can get on the feild... Will not be long
there will be lost of guys done in the next week, we have had good seeding weather, need a rain soon thou, hope everyone gets theirs in soon, talked with a farmer in Davison sask, h might start end of next week, but knows he will have to drive around snow banks.... He was sleding in his fields the day before, he said Regina plains is still stubble full of snow

Been piling flax with a fork and a truck for two days. Gotta be a better way to do this crap.
