stewart7225 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 These pictures are all from the United States... Hoxie, Kansas if you want more specifics. I am not sure if you guys are interested in seeing how things are over here or not so we will give this a try and see what happens. Rather than repost everything, I think I will let you guys follow the links to the posts on other websites. http://toyfarminllc.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=real&action=display&thread=897 http://toyfarminllc.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=real&action=display&thread=1096 Cant link to these two so here they are Dad planting dryland corn a couple weeks ago, field was partially strip tilled on ends to remove some compaction. Case IH 7130 with 1200, 8 Row planter Doing some wheat stubble Fertilizer/seed pickup (GMC Sierra 2500) My pickup (Dodge Dakota) Now for the neighbor out planting, he is running a MX305 on an 8 row Kinze planter. Everyone running RTK guidance in this area has been having some major problems, lets just say that their combine operator is going to be frustrated. Here are the two videos that I made of them planting. Let me know what you think. 7130 and 1200 planter 305 and Kinze and the last one The same neighbor that has been out planting with the MX305 and kinze has been having a lot of problems this spring. He failed to plan ahead with the hybrids of corn he is planting so he now has a few hundred acres of volunteer corn that he cant kill by spraying. I was enlisted to go work on a 40 acre patch that had been converted from flood to drip irrigation this spring (reason behind the ridges) I hooked up the AGCO and the fallowmaster in an attempt to solve part of his problem I had to work around these risers that control the different sections of drip tape Field is looking very bad at this point After working on the neighbors ground it was time to go do some of ours. All the ground that we had ripped last fall and chiseled earlier this spring was still very rough and needed going over to get rid of the weeds anyways. Kind of an awkward transport system with an extra 7 foot on one side of the tractor Spring, Part #3 - spraying should be coming soon. There will also be some more pictures of working summerfallow in a couple weeks Let me know if you guys are interested in seeing any more pictures from out this way.

ertlerik Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Great pix and video, keep them coming I guess the 305 is on the 8 row planter because that tractor has the GPS outfit ? Erik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewart7225 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 I believe by headers you refer to what we call a combine, if I remember correctly. A few pictures of our machine from last years wheat harvest We have a CIH 2188, its about 8 or 9 years old now and it has seen plenty of use so it might be leaving the farm in a few years for a newer model. We used to run a CIH 7130 magnum 2wd on an 850 bushel grain cart but the cart was to heavy for it and we traded off an older tractor for the AGCO in the other pictures so that is now the grain cart tractor. Not the same AGCO, this was 2 years ago when we rented one The neighbor runs the 305 on the planter because thats his only tractor other than an IH 1086 that runs a grain auger. He has that tractor to pull a ripper because when they install the drip irrigation, they bury it 16 inches below the surface. I assume you mean claflin kansas, this should show you the distance http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=hoxie+kansas&daddr=claflin+kansas&hl=en&gl=us&mra=ls&sll=38.522442,-98.537617&sspn=0.231535,0.615234&ie=UTF8&z=9 I will be sure to post more pictures as we go along in the year Thanks, Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
