Randy it is always a adventure in the snow and ice , i used wheel weights to help in the snow , sometimes it worked but sometimes it didn't , but i got them free so no cost just the time it took put p them on , i can see why people try to see how much time and the cost it would be if you were pay a hour wage to do things but what i did was subtract 30% for taxes from my hour pay and that showed me just how much i was really making every hour , i am retired so my time is free now , Randy what you might think about is once you walk out your front door and intel you end your day that is how much time you worked , i was at my job sometime 10hrs a day but i didn't work every min, but i got payed for every hour i was there , i know some times i over think things but that is just me lol , Be Well, Be Safe, Enjoy life ,

Yeah so what we spend tax dollars on a black hawk to find more immigrants and then house them feed them and then hopefully send them home? but knowing the do nothing liberals well put them in tax payer houses and the tax payers will be put on the street cus of this outrageous housing costs we have in Canada cus we are paying for illegals!

We have a IHC 986 and a IHC 1566. Wish that we have spent the extra to buy a John Deere at the time. I bought some JDs since then and they are much better tractors that retain their value.

We can tell from your footage that the cows are still very agitated. At 1:48, definitely write to the reeve of the LGD and to your MP (Ted Falk), send them an email, this is totally unacceptable. Elected officials keep saying how important farmers are? Here is an opportunity for them to walk the talk. So it doesn't happen again.

I’ve had the same problems with crop spray planes the last couple years. Guess they think it’s funny when the cattle scatter when they buzz them? Had words with the one operator. Enough was enough.

I always enjoy how you've setup your hay bales to progressively move the fence throughout the winter to feed. Works well to spread the manure too without starting the tractor! Neat way to do that.

Farming... never a dull moment, as something always seems to break. I throw either silage or a little hay where its icy. It partially freezes and provides great traction.😉

The saying is, you don’t have things it will not break. The things you do have will break! That’s why there are great people that fix things, mechanics, plumbers, carpenters etc.
