Drill Carrier


Here are the pictures of the drill carrier. Mom finished cleaning the wheat out of the drills. Robby was helping her hook back up to them so they could be parked out of the way until it is time to plant again.


The carrier is backed over the drills, and chains are hooked to them. Once everything is secure, the carrier lifts up with the help of hydraulics and it is ready to move. Pretty cool, except the last time I helped I hooked the chains wrong and we had to unhook and rehook. I tend to make tasks take longer than normal around here, which is why we have Robby.
The wheat is up, a nice rain would be great.

Jen--We miss you too. Thankfully, mom had the cleaning out part nearly finished when we got home.

Spicy--The kids love to climb on it--lots of fun. Glad you enjoy the blog.
