Texas Spring/Summer Thread

That harrow does a nice job . Looks like fun .

That harrow was the best 900 I spent for the pastures,its 12ft and my mower is alittle over that and it does great.I let two different ranches borrow it and they both went and bought one just like it,its made by armstrongAG.

Foreman, when the harrow gets full of weed stems and debris, how do you get it out? Does it release and mostly clear in the corners? I'm spoiled to my old spring-tooth that I lift the handle and pull forward to dump debris. I've just never understood how a chain harrow works when debris collect on the tines. Maybe, you can't use it in heavy brush/weed areas. . . I plead ignorance.:confused3:

Yeah in heavy brush on the most aggressive side(showed in picture) it will catch the stickes/etc. but most the smaller stuff it will eventually come out and the old dead grass will bounce free. I drive the field before hand and pick up the bigger sticks and whatever else may find. If the field has alot of dry hay or brush whatnot,can just back up to the opposite,hook the chain up and the drag will flip itself over to the none-aggressive side and can pull it that way and also clean the other side out or just pick it up with loader and shake it. Like you see in picture it will just build alittle,dont just keep pilling up and up,it comes out before that has ever happened. The teeth kinda rest on top of the ground,when you pull it its kinda skipping,except in the softer place what allow it to go alittle deep into soil,but on a pasture with grass,your really riding the surface.Hope i explained it good enough..

Boy-oh-boy! We seem to be in the bullseye of these storms moving across and I'm thrilled. We've had just shy of 1" so far. Thunder is rumbling and pea to marble sized hail has fallen to a small amount. I forgot and left my white lawn furniture cushions out and they are soaked. . . a pretty good tradeoff in my opinion. I'll have to remember that trick for future needs.

Jim can I borrow your white lawn cushions?.. Lou

 

[Bird]

I wasn't quite that lucky; only got a little less than a quarter inch of rain, but even that was greatly appreciated.

 

[Western]

I only got .23, Think I will shower and run to Lowes and pick up some White lawn chair cushions:laughing:

Yep Lou, right after all my ponds are full and I'm beggin' for the rain to stop. . . don't hold your breath.
