I took the A over my grandparents dry farm to get some photos. It's a pretty steep climb for it--it went up in 4th but down in 2nd. The A has a nice sound under a load though. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KET0YbMpHjA
This video is of me rambling on about a few updates, including some up-and-coming restoration projects. This fall we picked up 1942 Case Model LA, 1936 Case Model L, and 1936 Farmall F30. I was hoping to have started on at least one of them by now, but the Farmall M project that I started earlier is taking up a lot more time (and room in the barn).
Sorry about the wind at the beginning. It didn't seem very breezy--but I guess it was enough to be picked up by the phone.

Springtime, especially around June, is a very beautiful time in the valley. Everything is nice and green. To keep it that way, though, we have to eventually start up the sprinkler system. Here's a short video and slow-motion (iPhone 5s high frame rate) showing the sprinklers, as well as showing what happens when a hose breaks! It sure can make a mess...

With the snow getting deeper, the model A (being a tricycle front end) has a bit of a hard time going through the deeper snow. Several people have recommended spacing out the front wheels. I did that today, which gave me an excuse to get some more video.

It's a beautiful green springtime in the valley, and the cattle are about to go on the range for the summer. Until they do, however, we are still feeding them hay in the pasture.

Last Monday we had work off due to a night-long rain (which covered the roads in ice), so I took the opportunity to go on a little ride. The first part of the video shows two 850s playing in wet wet deep snow. Okay, I was filming, so it's mostly just one. The 850s were super fun, even though the snow wasn't that great.

The last video was another Ski-Doo 850 the following Saturday. The temps dipped down near 20 below at night, along with some fresh snow fall, so the snow was much better.
