This is our set-up (as of now) for spring planting this year.
The tractor came a week ago to replace the horrid one that we tried to buy last spring. The seller continued to help P (albeit on the slow side of life…) and finally made the deal for this one and it was delivered.
A few issues P has had to work out but that is normal. We only get used machinery so that is normal and why he wants things ahead of the season. The planter is also new-to-us and he has redone some things on there to make it more for his liking and style of farming. Tons of hoses and monitors and connectors to be installed, switched over, reprogrammed for both pieces. Coulters, seed monitors, row wheels, I don’t even know half of it!
The current aim to to start planting the end of this week or next week. We’ll see if our plans work out with the weather and all the equipment running well.
and sew on... 
I remember hearing about some of the past struggles and problems, so I certainly hope this green monster is customer-friendly. It looks pretty, but wait ‘til it hits a mud puddle!
You know more about it than I do. We get to learn about our husband’s work and they get to learn about quilting. Personally, I prefer quilting.
Ah, yes! I’m pleased with how much my husband has learned about quilting. He is proud of my work so that is a blessing. I, too, prefer quilting over any play in the dirt. I don’t have a green thumb, I have a thimble and/or callous on my middle finger for binding by hand. 🙂
