Main goal for the day was to see if the 40hp tractor had enough umph at the 3-point hitch to lift the front of the 40-foot, high cube shipping container to move it where it needs to actually be. Spoiler alert.. nope.
So, task #2, hook up the used levee plow and try to pull a levee, as a permanent marker of the property line between our field and a neighbor. The field road has migrated over time; I've had it surveyed, the neighbor had it surveyed, and they match. I waited until the crop was out and made a video to send the landowner and farmer leasing the land to as clearly as possible indicate what I'd like to do, when I'd like to do it, and give both time to object or ask questions, etc. I see one person has watched that video, but it's been a week, and today is the day I said I planned on having it done by, sooo.
But then... I noticed one of the front wheels of the tractor had popped off the bead. Everything stops until that is fixed.
Once that was addressed, and a couple of hours later, I started pulling the levee; it was getting dark and.. well.. you'll see.
This is farming and homesteading. It's far from all fairy dust and unicorn farts.
(By the way, the sound of the air compressor.. YouTube claims it's a "claimed sound" or somesuch. I mean, someone is trying to copyright the sound of an air compressor I own? Seriously?)
