@@DarrenShaw-ev5tb we have a few fields that are 10 miles away for 300 acres

@@DarrenShaw-ev5tb appreciate it!

I think it should be, especially now with the cost of land. A lot of regulatory headaches right now. Hopefully they can clean up the process. I hope to do some in a few years

@@jeffreyhearn8404 well site geologist? If so there’s a chance we’ve met as I was on the rigs here 05-07

@ it’s a small world. You probably carried your fair share of samples across the lease!

@jeffreyhearn8404 oodles

@@nadethpalmer9411 nope. Just got it back from the dealership. Had to shim a couple of planetary drives, and had a leaky gear increaser but that’s it

I agree. This drone looks like another DJI knock off

I definitely need to give it a demo

@@StevenHofer-h6c that’s crazy. Will probably give it a try. Is it just too thick?

@@AxiomAcres the paint is just enough for the rims to work loose and have wiggle room I have a harvester friend who told me that they had that issue as well and that fixed it and he runs 20 case ih combines

So just wire wheel to bare metal?

@@AxiomAcres I wire wheeled it till all paint was gone on the flange where it bolts up and it is quite thick

Class 9 is definitely an option. Gonna be a couple more years before we work into the 50’ headers. Dad just traded his 8240 on an 8250 with the auger for a 50’. Are the FD2 headers as good as people say they are? Was supposed to have a demo last year but it got sold

@AxiomAcres yes the fd2 are a amazing all the issues we had with out fd145s got fixed with the fd2. The fd145s used to have a major issue with the center feed drum plugging up that's what would limit the combine we never could fill our old 9240s. And boy oh boy straight cutting canola with an fd2 is great because I'd the 3 part reel

@@pubfixture that’s a program/engineering question but straight lines should be most efficient and best coverage as there isn’t turn compensation

I got the haircut but he doesn’t do shaves. Probably would’ve clogged his sink with all of the dust and chaff

@@timnichols9015 damn. I wish I could. I think if we had a good sized shop I would be more confident running longer.

@ My son is a tech at our dealer….. that’s my secret

Story checks out. lol. I don’t like going too much over 2000 threshing hours. I planned on keeping my FD135 much longer but it burnt up. I have no issues hanging on to headers for a while

@@totaledmyGN yeah. Haven’t looked terribly hard yet. Don’t need it for this years taxes. Was interested in a 8250 at Bourassa in Weyburn. Just not gonna rush into anything yet. Lots of time.

Gotta go for the 8.90s or 9.90s at Bourassas. Dealers right there. Plus you know some good guys to get those things running top notch.

@@AxiomAcres I don't think anyone is going to need tax deductions the next couple years. lol

40 was honestly an accident. When they were showing me the features; we were gonna spray at 200 micron but then the slider bar must have gotten touched and set to minimum. I’m currently not read up on the full regulations around drone application. I do plan on having a couple of podcast style videos over the winter to dig into this further as I have had lots of questions and feedback. If you have any other questions/comments; please let me know and I will do my homework for the future videos

@@DKTek07 unfortunately I am not familiar with the US FAA regulations. I do find it odd that a medical would be required for an unmanned drone but can also see how they would call you a pilot and require it, I myself would consider you as an operator

That doesn't seem right at all. That contradicts all current regulations.

The medical isn’t required for the 107 (which I have)under 55 pounds but is required for the 44807. So gonna have to contact the lawyer and see if I can do the same if possible.

@DKTek07 is the 55 lb limit payload or gross? Can’t imagine accomplishing many acres on 55 lbs GVW. In Canada, our threshold for registration and licensing is half a pound

@ Flying gross weight

That was my thoughts on it. We wanted to make sure we could see the optimal conditions. Do you by chance know where to find a publication of sprayer pattern width/speed vs boom width for hz rotors? I am planning to do a podcast style video touching on questions and comments like this.

@@AxiomAcres i want to see this video!

I’m thinking it’ll probably be February

Becks seeds didn't w very comprehensive test of drones vs ground rigs vs airplanes. I don't know where to find the results tho

The drones themselves are legal to spray with if you get the proper qualifications, there’s not a lot of chemicals that are labeled for drone application; although they are for fixed boom aerial applications such as a helicopter or plane. It’s mainly a technicality. At least that’s how it was explained to me

@@chrisb_71 I agree. I’m gonna have another video in a while (might move it up) but tank size, battery capacity, communication between drones (or ground unit) shared by a single controller, and several other potential features I would like to see before jumping in with both feet

Agreed, good opportunity improvements w. certain parts of the tech. But regarding tank size- keep in mind that drones will use the water rates for the Aerial label (same amount of AI that goes in the ground label, but much less carrier/water bc of their speed). Most products are labeled 2-3 GPA which has even drones this size doing ~ 50 acres in an hour. Of course if you had to water down the AI to ground rates, these tanks wouldn't be enough.

@bryansanders6129 couldn’t agree more

That's weird. I have been flying and making money for the past 2 years with spray drones. I think people need to understand them before blindly judging. lol

@jonbauer2977 good for you. For me the tank is too small.

@@chrisb_71 thanks. I love that drill, although it’s not perfect

You should check out my review video if you haven’t already

@@chrisb_71 had a good lean on it when it would’ve been ready to swath. Would’ve been gone with the wind if it got swathed

I was kicking around the idea of putting some beans in next year but am concerned about the stockpile/carryout

@@AxiomAcres We are looking for planter this year. I think we will have more acres in soybean than canola for quite a few years.(in this area) We cant count on canola yields any more so might as well sow a lower input crop like soybeans. It cleans up the weedy fields also.

I did a dekalb trial last year, out performed invigor 340 by 5-10%. This year 340 won by 30%. Dad likes to say “there’s a reason everyone compares themselves to invigor

@AxiomAcres yes, I believe that. I think brett young has a ways to go before they promote their pod integrity any more. I have alot of Bush, and my land is well sheltered. Yet it was completely shelled out. I took a tour around my neighbour's...and the area. Standing or laying, seemed alot less loss. Just my 2 cents and experience.

@thebreakofdon5188 where are you? Not much for Brett young around here that I know of

@@AxiomAcres I'm in Esterhazy. I think I'm about the only one growing it around here. I'm not going to be growing it anymore either.

I love it still. There was a pulley & tensioner upgrade that I installed, had to fix a scraper that broke and the starter relay failed but it’s been really good otherwise. I don’t consider it “oilseed safe” as you’ll have higher dockage in canola. I looked at meridian but the didn’t have an under mount motor

@AxiomAcres That's great!! Ekay looks like they make a really good auger but I'm in the US and hate to buy something so far away and no dealers at all. They're just a direct sale by order business. Anyone around you tried one of their augers?

@stirv6462 nobody I know has an r-Kay auger. I agree, looks like a good auger.

@@alfredfleming3289 this was beyond welding. Cracked all the way from the hub to the rim. Only good for a fire pit now

@@mattphillips4260 I bet. We’ve only had it happen on duals. Always the inner. Always caught too late to repair
