Nice. A lot of checking. Probably a lot more to go. Soil looks excellent for planting.

I got a do all that calibration work yet, I bought those seed covers to. Wish my drill had the lockup valves. I might just unbolt the front units because I got the main pins to replace anyways. I just hope I can get the trench closed good so the preemerge doesn't contact the seed.

is it a deere no till? Just buy the valves they are nothing special that i know of!

@mrbill4187 6 жыл бұрын

Ted Kahler It's a Deere 750, but it only has one big cylinder going to the back rockshaft with a couple rods to tie the front to the back. I can probably weld some stops in, but it'll be next year, its getting late early this year as Yogi said lol

I wish we had that good of WAAS signal but I guess US has more satellites to use for GPS signal. lol I demoed a NH air drill that was made to lift the front and seed 15" soybeans , The drill was really cool but it had so many tires that it couldn't be used on worked land and or very sandy land.

I just happen to be in a good spot for wass... I really like not having to wear out extra parts when 15 inch rows are great for beans

Good 'ol Shoup parts. Got the new scrapers/openers today from shoup for the drill. Pretty similar to the case sdx, do 15'' rows too blocking off the runs from the cart to the drill and adjusting discs and down pressure accordingly. What beans are you using? Going with the Xtends?

@tedkahler9738 6 жыл бұрын

I do plant extends had good luck with them last year. All neighbors are using them as well. Im planting a 2.5 channel bean right now

I wouldn’t be afraid of the 7 1/2 inch rows . They ever get up the canopy is there . No more spraying . Works here anyway .

@tedkahler9738 6 жыл бұрын

7.5 have seeds too far apart too much risk for crusting. As well as extra wear on the front rows that is not needed... As well as harder to control the flow. Get it shut down enough for 7.5 rows then you start cracking beans... Just my opinion though id much rather use a planter but this year it aint going to work out

I used square pieces of sheet metal and duct tape to plug every other hole on my drill. Lol. But it works!

The soil looks in ideal condition for planting, I just hope you get the weather conditions that you need for planting and rapid strong emergence. However the weather has been all over the place here recently and anything but normal what with ground frosts in the last week, temps to 24C and violent thunderstorms with masses of lightening. People here increasingly desperate to mow grass and make silage as the grass is being laid badly and becoming too mature for high quality feed.

Been crazy wet here as well..... about a month behind on corn planting..

Do you have issues with white mold? And how are the weeds?

@tedkahler9738 5 жыл бұрын

no white mold here yet.... weeds are better with narrrow rows than wide rows.. Weeds were good this year had a great spray program that worked

@69druth 6 жыл бұрын

You could just adjust the width and gps it that way would work would it not. We have the best spring planting conditions in years. Got to win sometimes.Lol

@tedkahler9738 6 жыл бұрын

69druth no adjusting the width won’t work because the rows are not centered The back row is 7.5 inches to the left and the front is 7.5 inches to the right. They are not centered if I adjust the width then all my fields that are set up for perfect 40 or 20 foot swaths woundnt be right because I would have to overlap
