Fired up the 112 was created by d2gary

Neighbor had a couple of loads of gravel delivered for his driveway so I offered to spread it out for him (any excuse to run a Cat). I had some delivered for some of my projects so more grader time coming. The grader started and ran like a top.

Yes we are blessed with a beautiful place and I had the 112 all lined up for snow removal last winter but never really got the big storm. 7u with the blade angled did a really good job of pushing our couple of good storms

did i see hay cut in the background?

everyplace is a little different in the farming practices....here in Northern Alberta and BC, July is the haying month....if the summer and fall is good, maybe a second cut...no irrigation to speak of

Greatest Lie told to mankind: just give us 2 weeks to flatten the curve!

I read the post because of the grader work but seeing the comments about making hay made me think about a trip to South Africa in 2015. There what we call alfalfa they call lucern. While we were there a farm foreman told us they get a cutting every six weeks year round, WOW. Here in Oregon they're lucky to get three cuttings if all goes well.
