Putting it all together.

Mother Nature continues it's teasing of warmer than normal weather for our area while other parts of the Country see record snowfall. With warm weather, comes time to work outdoors and assemble new purchases. 

We headed out Tuesday for Baldwin City, Kansas (about 120 miles) to bring back our 16 row liquid applicator. With 20 miles of narrow highways to travel before coming to a four-lane, we had the dealer take the wings to reduce the width from about 23' to about 20'.

Loading the wings onto the trailer.

After the wings were loaded and the main frame hooked up to the semi, it was time to head back on the 3 hour trip.

We made it down the narrow roads without much problems and only had two drivers who raised our blood pressure by not making room for us. After lunch, we took down 69 Hwy which is four-lanes. 

                                                     We made it home safe and sound!

 The next day it was sunny and warm so it was time to re-assemble the wings, hoses, hydraulic system, and wiring. 

          We have a few things to fix and improve before we head to the fields but it's really close!

This past week we purchased two frames that used to carry large fertilizer spreader boxes. One of these will be used to carry our nurse tank for the liquid applicator while the other one will hold a flatbed that will carry a large fuel tank and some large tools not on the main service truck.

We also received our new Parker grain cart last week.  This will be going into the barn for awhile but come harvest, it will have a few cameras installed to assist us to see behind us along with a little better view while filling semis.
