Yea been up to my ass in alligators lately too. Weather kind of threw some wrenches into the works, PITA having to bring cows home early due to thick ice, then been raining and snowing, everything mud and once it goes cold again be bloody concrete lol. Blew up the engine in my wheel loader earlier this fall, was pushing some shit around today with the big MFWD, what a clumsy thing when you are used to something so much better. Don't mind loading silage with it all winter, but thats on level ground, between the three foot wide hood and the huge fenders can't see squat, guess I'm out of practice with it lol

I read the post you mention NF. Talking of screw piles not rusting much because of lack of oxygen in soil, said they should last at least 50 years. First time poster.

lol Northern, Sorry, had to use the gif. I saw the post the other day, but it is gone now. Think it was Indian flag when I was looking at it. They should seriously block all posting attempts for threads upwards of 5 years old.

PITA having to bring cows home early due to thick ice. Now that's a problem I've never had! Yea I would imagine you boys down under wouldn't lol, just so you understand what the issue is, we got hit with a week of well below normal temps in late October which put up to about four inches of ice on dugouts ect. Trouble is the cattle will end up walking on the ice looking for open water, and when its that thick on deep enough water and they break thru its almost impossible for them to get back to dry land as the ice along the shore often doesn't break up so easy. Calves are the worst. Hypothermia and drowning not far behind. Normally in late fall cows in a different area but this year due to the excessive rain we had this summer things got changed. Wouldn't have been an issue if it hadn't been pushing -15C for a week

I tried putting the link for this forum on “the combine forum” and it gets switched to The Combine forum. I tried a couple times even added letters in front and behind and it still gets switched to theirs once you post it

Well I appreciate the effort Shmiffy, but I honestly don't think it is worth the effort. If people want to come they know where the cool people are. Probably not here as this is a place for farmers and we all know farming is not cool lol. There are some really good guys over there yet and it would make my day to have them here, but as the saying goes you can bring the horse to water but you can't make him drink. And in the meantime it seems I need to switch propane bottles- separate topic......

They may migrate eventually. If not we've got a good solid group here with a lot of knowledge and personality.
Much less bickering and BS over here which is nice.

I missed out on the first big exodus. Then I stumbled upon an old post of SWMAN. His directions in the bottom banner was how I found this forum.

I missed out on the first big exodus. Then I stumbled upon an old post of SWMAN. His directions in the bottom banner was how I found this forum. Yeah I did change my signature initially and included a link to here. Shortly thereafter I checked back to see that someone in the admin or mod end of things had gone into my account and changed my signature!!! When I tried to change it back I found they had written into the code that this site address was automatically change to the other one. I was, and still am, steamed that someone would go into my account and tamper with every one of my posts on that forum, that crosses several lines of conduct IMO.
