( KENTUCKY RAIN) Video , Jason Hasert, Steph, and me by three, one thousand bushel grain carts.

(KENTUCKY RAIN ) Video- Today we posted the video clip from our visit to the largest farm in Ky. Even though it was 100 degrees at noon , it was great fun. A little Kentucky Rain would have felt good. Our friends Jason Hasert and his wife Steph were great tour guides. I was very impressed with the volume of machinery they had . I love big farms with big machinery. This picture shows us standing by three massive grain carts that could carry 1000 bushels ea. They had four huge planters, two of them were 60 foot wide. They also had a quite a variety of heavy-duty tillage equipment all folded up and put away in the shed. To help in the fall harvest , they used 6 of John Deeres largest combines. Their dryer/ storage bin system holds just under 1 million bushels. I thought that would take a few people to run all this equipment and I was right. Jason said they have 60 workers during the busy times of the year.
Hendrickson Heavy Puller Truck Progress- I am cutting out the first window openings with the plasma cutter this morning. I should get the doors cut out and the hinges mounted on the sides of the cab this afternoon.
Thanks for all the nice e-mails about the new video section. It’s pretty cool we can share more than still pictures now on the webpage.
Tomorrow I will post a picture of a peanut farmer from Georgia in his peanut field and the gift he sent me in the mail today.

( IT’S MY LIFE ) VIDEO , Clip of me plowing snow in my truck

Here is a picture Deb took of me plowing yesterday . She also took a video of me playing with the plow. It has been two years since I got it out . I forgot how fun it was to plow with .
Ever since I was 12 years old and sold my bike and bought a 12 hp tractor/doodlebug and the neighbor put a crude blade on it , I was in heaven plowing snow. This video best viewed with volume cranked on high, ha,ha.
EIGHT inches of new snow - I was up early this morning in the tractor blowing snow , this makes the eighth time plowing for Jan.
Have a nice Sunday with the ones you love.

( JOHN DEERE GREEN) video clip from Roeders John Deere Dealership in Hopkinsville, Ky. on a Hot Summer Night

This picture of Deb and I was taken on a Hot Summer Night in Hopkinsville, Ky. at Roeders John Deere Dealership. It was 99 degrees when Jason and Steph took these pictures . We first met Jason when he lived in Wash. D.C. near Nicole and Bill. Jason now lives in Ky. and owns Toytractortimes.com and toytractorshow.com. , Two great websites. I have always loved to stop at Tractor Dealerships and just browse looking at all the equipment. It never mattered what color the machinery, I enjoy looking at all of them.
We had a fun visit with Jason and Steph.
If you go to the ( video ) section and go to ( The Campbell Family) , this video clip is now added to my webpage.
SNOWPLOWING - I plowed snow for the seventh time yesterday after lunch. It’s lightly snowing now.
TRUCKPLOWING VIDEO- I put the Fisher Snowplow on my truck yesterday and did some light plowing with it for the first time in two years. I always use the tractor , but I wanted to use the pump and work the cylinders to get some fluid through them. The plow has never set outside and it worked excellent. Deb took a couple videos of me plowing with my truck and we will post them soon.
Deb and I are going to goof off around Gaylord today , hope you all have a fun Sat. too.
SKI-DOO RIDING- I also went for another ride on my Ski-Doo MXZ-Rev Blair Morgan Edition snowmobile. It’s probably more sled than i would have needed, but it is still great fun to have.
