collage of plow day pics

[SweetFeet]

I made these collages up from the plow day we attended last month. Took a print of each collage to a local spot where a lot of the retired guys gather for a coffee klatch, so they can all see their tractors/plows in action.

Kept a red/orange page and green page so collages would not look like frogs in a blender. LOL.

I put all the photos (125+) on a disk so they can take the disk home and save any they wish to their computers. I will do the same with video clips of the day - just have not had time to edit all the videos yet.

Next goal is to make them a DVD they can play on their TV's combining all the photos and video clips... maybe set it to music. First have to download MS Movie Maker. A project for this winter.

Hey! It looks like that 8020 at the bottom is sporting a v8. That isn't factory is it?

Very nice pics. I usually burn all my pics to a DVD. Then, if we get company, i'll put the DVD in the playstation and we can view them on the flatscreen TV.

It's something the 8020's used a fully mounted 8 bottom. Imagine if the detent was set too fast and dropped the plow like a rock!

How big of plow was hooked to the Chevy Malibou? I can't tell by the pic.

SweetFeet,
Those collages are awesome! I wish I could get my wife more interested in farm life like you are. Thank you for sharing these pics.

Very talented! You mentioned on another post that the monster JD with all the plows hanging behind it looked like some prehistoric monster, Puff the Magic Dragon, maybe?

ShadetreeRet,
Thanks!
It does remind me of a dinosaur. You may be right, could be Puff... he used to live by the sea, but maybe moved to the midwest to retire. LOL.

Kow Farmer,
Thanks! Love to share photos.

I did not used to have nearly as much interest in tractors or shows...both of us were too busy working full time and chasing kids (plus husband used to farm our 80 and raise hogs).

I really got interested in tractors a couple years ago - when we started the search for an old, rusty Regular. Once we found her in the woods, I started taking pictures by the hundreds...THEN I WAS HOOKED! In my former life, I did not know a magneto from a carburetor or a head from a manifold. Youngest kids are now teenagers and we have a little more time to hang out together doing things we both enjoy.

flying belgian,
3 16's...that is all the more a Malibu can pull. LOL.

The car is included because one of the men inside it is very ill (so another guy brought him out so he could watch the plowing and visit with everybody). So I wanted to include him in the collage.

gtractorfan,
The 8020 really impressive looking. We have seen it at a few shows.

For some reason he could not plow that day. He tried, but the ground was really hard and something went wrong. He backed up and gave it a second try, but she would not go in the ground - so he parked it and let the guys with the little, old tractors do the plowing.
