Sorry I’ve been away all morning...

Since it rained here last night I wanted to rototill my corn patch now that all the sweet corn’s been picked and ate... Time for Fall taters!

So I wound up still breaking the tiller shaft (the reason I don’t till when it’s dry). This is a big tractor pull behind tiller—what a PITA. I had an older tiller I replaced this one with, so I dismantled it and replaced the broke shaft with it. But it is now 98 degrees out and too hot to finish. I got it off and now mounted but I’ll go out this evening before it gets dark to put the bolts and clevis pins, etc. back in.

By the way, my new pull tiller is made in China, the old one? USA. I bought the old one used and it lasted me twenty years of hard work. The Chinese one broke the shaft and I just got it a few months ago.

I hate cheap as crap worthless Chinese steel!

Keep the tariffs!!!
