Can I come and work for you guys? Just kidding. Probably don't want an old guy. I grew up on a farm and miss it. The equipment has advanced leaps and bounds since the 70s. Take care.

If you live close, sometimes we need a truck driver here and there during harvest

You can get that anti static hose from companies here, if needed in a pinch. I don't remember the company we got it from when I was at the feed mill

Nice video guys, thanks for the details and explaination for calibration. I like your suggestions on the divider between the bins, good thing CAL-Ranch had a scooper! The seedhose is being addressed and we will have an update for you in the near future.

Great video, when will there be a potato planting video? Can you start again Monday or wait till Tuesday ? Great to meet you Saturday! You are as nice in person as in your videos!

@RockyMountainFarmer 2 ай бұрын

It was good to meet you. We will probably start potatoes tomorrow and I will start making a planting video.

Fall of 2022 we ran a kelly diamond harrow once , sown 2.2 bu per acre with a airplane. Then one pass with a 46ft McFarlane harrow. Made 110 bu per acre. Probly wont ever happen again

@RockyMountainFarmer 2 ай бұрын

That would be an interesting thing to see, an airplane seeding a field, crazy

You should tack the straps to the inside of the lid

Probably not a bad idea

Do you have to calibrate each time you fill up?

@RockyMountainFarmer 2 ай бұрын

No, in reality you really only need to calibrate it when you’re changing varieties or increasing how much you’re planting per acre

You pushed the wrong button when the machine was folded in. You should have touched the left one to tell the machine that it is folded in. Then all valves are off and you arent able to move the tools.
