I’d go with the 18 inch. Have 650s on my sprayer and the tire looks too far outside of the rims for me so 520s should be a better fit

Not environmentally right but get some black oil worked into the wood. Will last for many more years. I put a scrap engine on the wooden floor of a trailer and oil leaked out and soaked into the floor. That was the only part not rotten after five years.

Mounted on a pivot steer tractor I found rather than mounting on the cab roof it was far better mounted on the front as far forward as possible. And the slopes should be compensated by the gyro in the t2 if ezsteer

Ezsteer on a waas signal will give you pretty good results. If it’s forage maize and the rows don’t match up perfect does it really matter. Most choppers are on a kemper type gathering design and not row dependant. Bought my first light bar in 2003 and after spraying with it for a few days all...

I’ve sown oats for a neighbour to use as whole crop. Variety called haymaker. Most likely won’t find it in the uk unbelievable bulk from a short season crop. 5 ft tall and leaves an inch wide. spring oats will give a good bulk but need choppin rather than round bales to reduce wastage from...

it’s possible to get the ezsteer 250 unlocked to rtk but if it’s only to drill maize a set of markers would be a cheap option.

my main equipment I keep enough parts and bearing to fix any breakdown. Filters for every engine and more just in case parts than most dealerships. I can’t afford breakdown time losses. Most dealers are stocking less and less and rely on us to pay overnight shipping to get going again. Common if...

I know and older retired nurse from Australia. She worked along side a flying doctor in the outback for most of here working life. She said she saw every imaginable health issue in the aboriginal people but only once saw anyone with cancer. She put it down to processed meats as they typically...

Used to be common in Manitoba that canola was mixed with map to get it metered out better. Now most drills will accurately go down to 3 lbs an acre. Easiest way is know how much of each product in the mix and calibrate as normal. Nothing that old fashion math can’t work out. I wouldn’t fill the...

Youngsters now think that unless every piece of equipment is controlled by a box in the cab they aren’t able to make any money or grow a crop. there’s a time and place for both systems When grain prices are low the cost of production with masses of technology that needs paying for doesn’t help.

Is atrazine banned now.

Read it again and I’d say you have a blocked filter of restriction someplace. Or you pump is not working right.

Does you rate controller take a speed signal from a gps unit or radar.

You’ll get better response from the phosphate combine drilling it. All my crops get it in the seed row. Never seen any negative issues with it.

Women were a different breed back then. Can you imagine the women’s rights groups protesting if that was even mentioned now.
