7th Annual (Danville) PA Plow Day April 13-14 2012

[Dane in PA]

I don't know, as I have never been to this before, but it may be a good idea to set off a few acres for people with older, slower, or experimental (temperamental) tractors, or a place for first timers. I would hate to slow everyone down, and would hate to break down and stall everyone up. Hows the soil up there BTW? I was diggin' up clay and branches with my rig this afternoon.

My wife & I are still planning to be there, but we probably won't make it untill Saturday.
I just started a new job today & don't think it would be a good idea to take a day off on my first week there while still in training. I'm not going to cancel the motel reservation until I see what time I get home Friday though, just in case.

Polished up the plow today

Final plow setup scheduled for Thursday! Don't want any unplowed area behind my plow!

Today I built a 16" plow beam extension in the thought that moving the coulter that far ahead of the stock position, it will not gather the trash as they sometimes do ( mainly in the corn ) with the coulter only being a few inches forward of the mouldboard.

Not sure if this will work or not but it doesn't cost anything to try it out. If it does work, then I will build a new one piece beam of this total length.

We will find out soon

I worked until 3:30 AM lat night (this morning) to get as many tax returns completed as I could. Back to work by 7:30 AM.

Yeah, I REALLY want to be there and so do the twins.

We'll be the father-and-2-eleven-year-olds with the MTF hats.

No iron yet this year.......some day........

If I bring my taxes could you fit them in?

I'd love to attend one of these. I'm only an hour north, if that. But, I was asked to do a job, an hour in the other direction, helping at our camp cleaning flood mess from last September.

Next year.

Yep, though my GPS took me through the country to get there.

Ask for Whitenights Farm market if you get lost.
