@FarmallFanatic I like them all. Availability is slim in our part of the world. I wish I could have some of each so I would have a broader knowledge but it's a john deere and Kubota world in SC.

@TheJfitch Kubota here too...nice tractors

@@chrisworks1877 I'm almost in the same boat. I'll hopefully get my 2nd cutting next week. This is the most expensive, non-productive year ever.

@@crslyrn It was a recap of the oops. I saw the video clip again and couldn't help but shake my head.

Probably so. 150 gallons was stretching it.

It was a difficult thing to do, I certainly could have moved the camera closer, but you know horses. They'll wiggle and trample everything. First I applied Epson salt gel to the entire hoof. Secondly, I wrapped an ace bandage around the entire hoof. Third, I wrapped my vet wrap around the whole hoof. Fourth, I put my pre cut duct tape sole cushion on. Fifth, I wrapped the whole hoof in duct tape. It worked well and alleviated all of the daily soakings.

@crslyrn Thanks for stopping in. This has been a wild year but we know that going into a new season. They're not always fun. The tire kit was awesome! And it was definitely by grace I found that nail at home. That was a true silver lining. ❤️

It has worked great. I've been using it since it was released. My initial schedule was February and September applications. I have adjusted that to February and after my first cutting in June. It provides coverage for my harvest season which is June through mid September. I do the 2 split applications of 3oz each.

@ericjohnson8001 That's good information to have. It's a constant battle with the bugs and every simple strategy is well worth it. Thank you for sharing.👍❤️

It did. It really made a difference with the vaseygrass. The pre-emergent made the most improvements with the foxtail. There are not many options for vaseygrass in Bermuda, and this was definitely a good strategy for that.

Yes it is. I really enjoy the user friendly features. The unit is holding up well and I have had zero issues with the software. Everything operates as it should. It's a really nice unit.

@@TheJfitch Thank you for responding and making the time for an informative video! I'm looking at a couple of units and this may be the way to go.

@donniehutto5665 anytime. Always glad to share information and hopefully take some of the confusion out of trying to make a decision. I know the feeling. There's so much stuff out there, it's hard to decipher. And thank you for taking time to watch the video.

Thank you. We were averaging 50 bales per acre on our best field and 41 per acre on others for 535 total. I have thoroughly enjoyed this adventure

We've been doing great. I hope your hay and cattle business is treating you well.

Thanks Ron. It has been a whole learning experience and so much fun.

That is a very real point. The cost of everything is sky high and if it wasn't for foxtail, some variable grasses would be acceptable. When I was just keeping bushes and briars out of the fields, it was a lot more enjoyable. But when foxtail moved in, it turned everything on its head. It's a real rock and a hard spot situation.

Good to hear from ya! I'm glad yall were able to lay some down too. Wishing you guys a great hay season. Keep up the strong work.

I would decide what type of hay I am wanting to produce. For many years we cut whatever the land produced and that worked for us for a long time. Then we started spraying herbicides to reduce bushes and briars. Slowly we have evolved into producing a particularly grass. You just have to know what you want your final product to be and what your needs are. It costs a lot of money to go across those fields, so make sure you are getting some return on your product. Secondly, don't go equipment broke. Use what works and grow into newer, different things. Third, make sure your hay is dry. Don't get in a rush. If you have mixed grasses, unfortunately their drying times will be different. So be cautious of baling too soon. Fourth, you will get out of your soil what you put into it. Soil fertility is key no matter what you're growing. Fifth, weathermen are notoriously wrong, mother nature supercedes everything, and remember to have fun.

It worked great killing what was above ground so you got a good cutting but it certainly didn't kill the roots. The plants slowly came back. I have found that 8oz/acre glyphosate in combination with 1.5 oz/acre Pastora worked wonderful. The Bermuda grass tolerated it well.

The Facet did decent to clean up for the next cut but it didn't kill any roots. So over time, they began to regrow. The best thing I have found is 8oz per acre glyphosate with 1.5 oz per acre Pastora. That mix really helped clean up the field. It didn't yellow any of the Bermuda, but it was slow to reach mature height.

Yes, 8 ounces per acre glyphosate with 1.5 ounces per acre Pastora.

It's can be so frustrating especially when they spit it right back out. They're worse than children. ❤️

It's hard for me to give him anything by mouth. Which is very frustrating.

The strongest winds we get are around 30mph. So, I can't speak for anything any stronger. The hut weighs about 230 pounds, so it it is fairly substantial and with the openings on each side, wind can pass through.

Thanks for stopping in Ron. You know that pup has gotta ride. The GPS is awesome. It's simple and I love it.

You got that right. You gotta stay on them religiously.

You better, tell ant hey for me.. looking out there

@@Outdoorsinthecarolinas I'll do it!!!😊

The adventures of farming are endless! 😆😆 Good to hear from you. That hole chattered me. Thanks for stopping by. ❤️

@@TheJfitch 😁😁

I hope you get water soon. You run a heck of an operation. Thanks for stopping in and keep up the good work!!!! ❤️

Thank you. I have learned a few thing from you, thanks for always sharing what you are doing. That is what make you different from a bunch of others hay makers. Again, thank you.@@TheJfitch

Thanks for watching and dropping a comment! Have a good one. 👍

Yes!!! 😁

Thanks Ron. It is quite handy and I really benefitted from the tilt compensation feature. That was a feature my old Raven was lacking and made it more difficult to be accurate. Russ is great. I really enjoyed purchasing, and hopefully promoting, his product.

Thanks Russ! It's a great product. Thank you for making it available to us.

How has it held up and can you mark multiple boundaries with it

It has help up nicely. The unit itself is in great shape and the software is still sharp as brand new. I'm not sure if you can do multiple boundaries but I will get you an answer. I've only done a single boundary at a time.

Thanks Tim. It's a very easy to use system.

The current price on the blackbox air + with a 9" screen is $1,995.

@@TheJfitch I’ll be contacting Russ soon. Thanks

@@SLCFarms Awesome! I just did a quick browse and saw that pricing on farmparts4less.

100%

You got that right. And there's nothing online to give you any guidance either. 😳

I saw you guys had a new baler, and I was curious what you thought of it. Keep us posted on it please. Can't wait to see its results next season.

Krone uses different feeding and bale formation technics ,,,,,,,,,,,From what we have seen so far it will also aid in the constant unrolling and feeding the rebaling process.....

Thanks for stopping in Paul! Our weather gave us a run for our money this year. I know a lot of folk were crippled with drought. We were fortunate in many ways. Glad to hear from you. ❤️

You know it. I saw you guys cooking. 🔥

@@TheJfitch Everything you said is so true… if its not one thing its another! Everything is always in a time crunch and we are always at mother natures mercy. Great video! So far my favorite 💪🏽 If it was easy… anyone would do it! Hats off to you and all my fellow hay producers!

Thanks Ed! I've been around. Just working my tail off! Hope you and your family are well!!!❤😊

@@TheJfitch we are doing well enough.. thank you Jennifer!!

Thank you. I'm learning something new all the time while trying to share knowledge and hopefully helping someone else. That's all we can do. ❤️

Thank you so much!!! 💓

I keep wrapping it until the abscess emerges or the pain begins to subside. Not all abscesses make a visible whole when they "blow out", so I give it ample opportunity to remind soft and medicated while it's wrapped.

Thank you so much for stopping in the channel. I appreciate hearing from any and everyone. I will certainly keep updating on the status of the spreader, especially after some wear and tear. I have to be completely honest too, I have never even considered wearing a mask while spreading fertilizer. All the fields fertilized and wildlife plots we've planted, - never. It's something to consider. 😁 ❤️

It's the best thing I could ever do for that little Ford 2000. That nitrogen was eating its back end off. Not one piece reaches the tractor now.

@@TheJfitch Amazing!! 😁😁👍👍

I wish I would have known about it sooner. I have never seen one operate until this one. It is a great tool. 👍
