| My wife thinks planting without a cab makes me look funny. I guess the mix of dust, sweat, hydraulic fluid, and oil are not her idea of sexy. | What a beautiful sight, can there be a better way to end a day? | Looking at a lot of ground to plant the 2nd morning. Little 6-row planted almost 160 acres in 2 days. | Found another gulley that needs to be worked shut. | ||

Planter clutch rebuild included new shaft width of planter, new sprockets on all drives, new clutch spring, all new bearings, new dogs and springs. Took about 4-5 hours, I had been dreading this for a long time but it wasn't that bad. Worst part was getting the old one out. | |||
