Untell it rained that night.... and the alternator went out... along with a major water leak LOL I should have kept my mouth shut that it was going pretty good
They must be the invisible soybeans...good luck.just finished corn planting tonight.of course a thunder storm plowed in got mud all over everything. fun times..
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.
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?
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.
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 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.
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
Thanks... really been happy with our long term no till... some of the shorter term no till fields are not so sexy though.... BUT just a rough patch hope it gets better soon
My last comment was like a Father telling his son what's going on 👍 I am the same age as President Trump 👍 Yes I have a Young wife also 👍 So my comments on your channel and the rest of Utube are going to be like a Grandfather 🙌
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
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
Gotta love those box car magnums!
They are solid tractors
Nice. A lot of checking. Probably a lot more to go. Soil looks excellent for planting.

Thanks for stopping by

just didnt put enough in and going down the road they spread all out
excellent soft soil or your hand is one heck of a shovel.
Thats what years of no till gets ya..... higher organic matter make the soil like garden

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

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

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

man that soil looked real mellow. like that drill. no till would of been a good deal for my place but dont raise wheat any more.
Howard Younger we don’t have much for small grains either plant little bit of rye but it gets grazed or put up for hay....
That soil looks nice

I used square pieces of sheet metal and duct tape to plug every other hole on my drill. Lol. But it works!
LOL..... yea we use to too.... then came the plastic things.... life saver
How do u like those cast closing wheels? Do they always close the trench enough even in dry conditions?
i havent had a problem getting anything closed. unless its too wet....
Just suscribed. Come over from Soybean Farmer. Teagards...
Thanks for comming over... Sure enjoy his channel..
Do you use the corn planting tractor with the drill?
i have.... right now its on my old tractor. Big tractor still planting corn.
How many years no-till on that field? Ground seems mellow.
thinking close to 10 years
Do you have issues with white mold? And how are the weeds?
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

I get it now one side a outside is planting and the other one is not.
Yea its kinda weird... i had a hard time figuring it out the first time I helped the neighbor set up his drill
