    Kid cleaned up the farmyard **pics** + cows

    My step-son finally got the gumption to clean up his crap laying around the yard/pasture:



    Really adds up!




    Nice heavy plow on the bottom.



    Bundles uf fence/wire.



    Strapped down nice for DOT.



    Guess the weight?




    For those of u who teased me in my introduction about there being more cows than people in South Dakota: you are right! 2 of us in the house, and 50-some cattle in back yard.



    Calves are actually cute. Till they get about 600lbs. Haha.
    Money is not the root of all evil, the love of money is.

    Thanks for the pics......looks like what I do everyday. Nice cows....mine are Spotted Angus (Angus + Corriente)

    Don't know how much of that JD disk you got on there. Is it a Model 210?



    It could weigh upwards of 2 ton itself depending on length but I'll be conservative and guess 2 ton for the entire load. Wire adds up faster than I thought.

    Not sure the model # on the disk, 14' and yes it's all there. And yes, it's heavy.

    Kid cleaned up the farmyard **pics** + cows

    Nice load and nice pens, I clean feed lots for my day job so I spend a lot of time looking at manure and scrap piles. I'm a classy guy!

    Wow, nice. I'd have gladly cleaned that all up for you guys ; )

    Although with my little trailer it'd take a half dozen trips at least lol.
