Tips for a 750A novice

[Persa]

For the the first thing to reduce trash problems is to lift the combine header up. Cut high. If you are not baling straw why do you want to put it through the combine? It costs fuel causes troubles later. Also as Simon said drill deeper. Don't try to go too shallow.

How high stubble is prefered for the 750? As high as possible to get as little residue as possible laying on the ground? Any suggestions?

Surely this is all that is important, don't worry about what it looks like.
Boot wear will be higher if you lower them, personally I wouldn't use the lowest two settings ( 1/2 and 3/4 inch deep ) for any seeding.

Yes of course.
Actually even in the shallowest seeding position it was still sowing an inch deep. Its a nice bit of soil and with the rain i guess it was pretty soft, had pressure at just below 50. Your right its not hairpinning, just covered with chaff. Why do you not use the lowest 2 holes Simon?

I think the answer is basically yes. This worked well with our 2nd wheat, leaving little surface residue. However we had a big thick crop off our 1st wheat and despite little early Nitrogen and plenty of growth regulator it was much taller than I would of liked. Again we cut it high but there is still a lot of chopped straw on the surface, and the stubble is knee high. Where driven on this is laying like lodged wheat. Where it is shorter it has sprung back up a bit, so maybe the answer is not too high!

I have planted a cover in some destined for beans, will be interesting to see how this does. The rest is meant to be 2nd wheat. Im pleased with the drill, considering the conditions its doing a good job. But there must be a limit to what a following crop is willing to yield in conditions such as this.

Per are you interested in DD ? This year we have some good wheat after wheat with ok protein.

Couldn't run them all in a row at the back because they dragged up wet straw. Now they are staggered , with half mounted at the front, but lined up with the rear disc. They are adjustable but could do with a bit more fettleing!View attachment 197638View attachment 197640View attachment 197642

@moretimeforgolf - How did this concept work out in the end?

Hi Robert. Well last autumn all the rape drilled using this set up emerged successfully. The Spring barley straw was really fluffy but didn't cause any problems. This year it's all gone in well again but the straw was very dry. The rape has yet to emerge because we've only had 5mm of rain in the last month! Nick

Result - well done. Patent next?!

First time drilling OSR with 750. In a small field and getting tired of cancelling low level seed alarm. Can it be turned off?

 

[Will Blackburn]

Isobus? Go into the settings and uncheck that alarm (and get a camera)

Not worried about running out never known an Accord metering wheel to be so accurate

Done thank you Will

Do you just set the discs in the ground and pressure ? Or do you keep the spool constantly pumping ?

Constantly pumping.

What on/off settings and overlap settings are people using for section control with greenstar?

 

[Farmer Roy]

Not worried about wide rows In rape but Steve was suggesting drilling 2nd wheat/wheat after oats with the spoons....13" rows???

We grow all our wheat on 13" rows, 15" is also quite common

5.95 track spacing on 6m make sure drill is dead center and so is the receiver.
