Pre-em marks and rolling

[Flat 10]

So, did nobody else try dragging a brick on a rope off the boom ends, it was surprisingly effective.

Couldn’t afford chains?!

Couldn't afford a brick. Dad used to drag me on a bit of baler band.

Anyone thought to put a set of markers on the back of the rolls to reinstate them ?

One farm I used to work on it used to be easy to spot the tramlines when you followed up with the sprayer, they were the straightest wheelmarks as fhe old boy on the rolls was all over the place when it came to filling in between the tramlines

It's a option on dalbo rolls I'm told

Think is going to happen here. Got a old pre em marker off a parmiter drill, that's going on the rolls.

Damn, another project on the list.
Fortunately the old man on the rolls is the same one as on the drill and sprayer.

We were so poor we had to imagine where the pre-emergence marks would be!

15 years ago nothing was sprayed Pre em so didnt need them, used to wait for full emergence and spray the herbicide with an aphicide and a drop of CMPP and made sure slugs hadnt damaged it too much.
All back in the day when costs were low and yields and wheat prices were as today.

Isnt this rut getting deeper by the day and a sprayer hasnt been along it yet?

After spending a fair bit of time fettling the tramliner and preem markers on the MF30, in the end I decided not to put tramlines in, that’s to say not to shut coulters off.
I recently purchased an Agricision OnTrak as a budget non RTK dgps system and it works so well I can put tramlines onto my seedbeds straight and accurate after drilling. Just plonk it on the bonnet, no cables, and it shows an LED lightbar on it and also works through your smart phone.
For once a piece of technology that works well. I don’t work them or have any financial interest in Agricision but credit where credit is due.

If marks aren’t prominent enough just roll at a slight angle
