With the mild Winter we had, Spring has sprung a little earlier than usual. The 8N saw no snow, and only got run a couple times to move hay racks around as the cows consumed last year's crop. Even after sitting for 6-8 weeks, it still fires right up on the first or second "rumpa."
So my first real Spring workout was to dig out the Van Brundt grain drill and overseed some pasture mix:
And since the alfalfa is looking like it's ready to be cut soon, I dug out the balers today to do some parts swapping. The hitch mount on the 273 was somewhat buggered up when I bought it, so I decided to swap with the mount off the old 68. I also transferred the hay rack hitch off the 68 onto the 273 (bolt holes were already there). With no sons at home any more, I usually drop-bale, but every so often, someone will stop and offer to help (I must look pitiful). This way I can accept help and put them on the rack instead of driving around picking up bales.
