    i had set-up; All Massey; 4840 4wd pulling 3x 15' = 45' / 1805 4wd pulling 3x 15' =45' / 1150 2wd pulling 2x 15' = 30' for a total of 120' per round . We had snow 6" of snow on June 5. We seeded 500 acres per day ( in the late 80's) On a 4500 acre farm.
    The most common salutation upon leaving was . . I'LL SEED YOU LATER ;)

Took the grain off the new (1948) Massey-Harris 15 pto combine pulled by a Massey-Harris 102 senior tractor. He got a used IHC truck as a replacement as the team couldn't keep up with the job in 25 bu/acre wheat.

    I was watching the episode when you were going around the power line poles and had thought of suggesting of why not use an old smaller seed drill to just go around the poles if you had one handy. Now I know that you have one handy, I offer that suggestion. How practical it would be to take a slower tractor and a smaller seed drill to do just those areas is difficult for someone who grew up on a much different Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 hill farm to gauge as I have no idea of the distances involved between your base and the location where you were seeding.

    The left turn only operation reminds me of making an "e" pattern on one side of our farm where the RR tracks cut through at an angle.
    Also had to be really careful when using the drag harrow. If you turned too short, it could get caught by the rear tractor wheel and pull the implement right up on top of you and the tractor.
    I think back about how unsafe farming could be 60-70 years ago. Fortunately things have gotten a lot better. But safety still has to be #1.
