The transmission is yours for $200 if you want it.

Hey Stonewall how's the 950 doing these days?

In America, there is no "Z" in diesel. Nor is there a "U" in color, nor a "Y" in tire.

The diesel cycle is named after Rudolph Diesel. Call up Wiki and complain to them.

Keep the faith, Stonie.

Hi there - just had to comment on your No 'z' in Diesel remark in your footer...
'Diesel' really should be spelled in the US as 'Diezel'

For some reason - all the other S for Z sounding words have been re-spelled in in the US, except 'diesel'...

some examples of English --> US spellings..

Realise --> Realize
Rationalised --> Rationalized
Customised --> Customized

and just about every other word that ends in 'ise' has become 'ize' in the US - not sure why this was done - but they are still pronounced exactly the same way.

... so - there really is a 'Z' in diesel. (diezel)


...and also that's why us Aussies hate it when you say 'Aussie' and not 'Auzzie'

LOL by the end of Oct we usually have more than a foot of snow, we like to be done by mid sept because after that it could start snowing anytime, yes the land rolls quite a bit so the expensive combines have laser sights that read the ground height at each end of the header and auto tilt the header so that you don't hit the ground. we run 30-40 foot straight cut headers, most of us do straight cut now a days so we don't have to swath (windrow) our crops, except for canola. Not one person irrigates up here, we just put it in the ground and let the rain do the work but most of us do zero till to conserve spring moisture in the ground, Alberta is about 1200 miles long and 450 miles wide so it is a big province and the further you get south is where the irrigation is, just not up here. I live close to the oldest town in western canada called Fort Vermilion it is about 250 yrs old and was first founded during the Hudsons Bay fur trade. my mother is from North Dakota and my dad from here.

our growing season for most crops is only from middle of may and we harvest about mid sept but our days are very long. it doesn't get dark till 1 in the morning and is getting light again by about 3:30 am ,so only 2.5 hours of darkness in the summertime, talk about good bush parties LOL, lots of beer and girls LOL
ahhh crop share, so you do flood your feilds, so do you harvest while the fields are flooded ?? we grow as much canola as possible because it gets the best price, then wheat. the Barley and oats is just for rotateing but it grows good, barley about 110 bsh/ac ,oats about 120 bsh/ac, wheat 65 bsh/ac and canola about 60 bsh/ac

yup im somewhere in the 3000 acre area, a mid size farm up here, why would you have to take your crops to the land owner ??, we just pay rent to the land owner about $15 per acre, and yup there is a sawmill and an OSB plant just a bit south of town, ill be doing mostly canola this yr and a bit of oats and a couple hundred peas
eh i heard you guys throw the fertilizer down pretty heavy down there is that right ?? if i throw 100 lb/ac down of 46-0-0 im puting about right any more and it's like throwing it away, we have goose hunters come up every yr from AZ and Ca to hunt geese for a couple weeks each fall and that is what they said but they wern't farmers ,

feed peas are peas grown specificaly for feeding cattle, 2000 acres of rice ??? i didn't see any rice paties LOL how the heck do you grow rice on dry ground ?? so you talkin white table rice ??

actual acres i dont actually know, but i farm 21 quarters, and you ??

Im a farmer too, i seed Canola, Wheat, Barley, Oats and feed Peas, just getting ready to seed up here , maybe in 2-3 weeks we will start, eh i looked at your town on Google Earth, you're right that is a small town LOL, what are the big grain bins right in town ??
