Seems like all we are doing out here is feeding the moles, raccoons, turkeys, ground squirrels and deer.
Treated seed must be tasty.
Another 40 and it will have as many hours as its namesake… and it’s out getting work done.
Meanwhile, a 410 (with less than 410) sits idle with a mysterious illness…. 🤔

You know it’s the time of year to be done when you have to turn the lights on at 4:30 to dim the screens in the cab.
Selling our strip till bar. Case 950- 16R. Prefer to sell complete with our dual row cleaner setup but would sell less cleaners.

We can make strips that we are very satisfied with, even in tough conditions. Versatility to run as a conventional toolbar.
LanD Skid (L&D Skid) for sale.
With or without tank and pump setup.
Send me a message or find it on Marketplace.
First day out spraying for the year and I’ll give credit where it’s due…
Whatever magic code Deere put in the steering controller software update it seems to be a big improvement.

Each one of them were cold. This year the warm March analogs means a major cold April 6-15 on the way and models are now seeing it The 4 analogs to that are below
Played around with Active Implement Guidance on a DB steerable axle today…
Anyone have a resource for some good calibration numbers?
Seems like it will hold the line pretty well across a broad range of cal numbers but wants to “S” at line acquisition.

Finally got around to this past year's phantom yield loss data. Here are the last two years of results, same 9 hybrids tested in both years.
Yield loss is real, but it is not kernel respiration on the plant. It is either harvest loss or yield monitor calibration variation.
Strip-till tip to make great fall strips:
Make sure to wait until after the ground has frozen 8” deep and then thawed out.
Pulls easier, Works up beautifully… Sure you only have 2 days to get everything done before it freezes up again 🤷♂️

Looking for a step for someone that had a accident or just a easier way to get up in your combine , give these guys a look ! TNC Fabrication LLC , they were great to work with , I highly recommend – at Illinois, USA
Anyone with an X9 interested in a longer handle for the rear ladder door? Could get a few more made if there is any interest. Way easier to swing the door down.
I suspect it will catch some debris out of the air chute… hasn’t been an issue in corn. Would be around $200.
