I finished the next to last field. Just an 80ac patch to go, but it may be a while with next weeks forecast.
It has been a good week, better than the week when trying to plant corn.
Also been planting enlist a couple years now. It's nice having 24d, RUP, and liberty all as options.

It's even worse to try to work up. We used to have it thicker than hair on a dogs back but it's not as bad as 15-20 years ago. I don't know if our switch to no till is part of that or not.Nah, it's just that wild rye/barley grass stuff that grows everywhere, and is a pain to till.
What date did you get your cover/hay crop planted last year? I tried some frosty clover the first of October with mixed results. Needed on earlier bu beans wouldn't come off when I planned.Finished planting ours yesterday. Had corn last year and planted C. Rye, Ryegrass, and Crimson Clover on it after the corn. Cut it for hay and now planted the soybeans in the ryegrass. Hate having to spray the ryegrass it looked so pretty.
What number JD? I absolutely love those Sound-Guard tractorsView attachment 17558View attachment 17559
My view from the cab and my dad in his tractor and bean planter. We got ours wrapped up Wednesday and finished our neighbor and old friends today. Thankful for a stretch of good weather and no breakdowns this week. Now we just sit back and watch the big money roll in this fall lol.
I was driving the neighbors 4630 with a 15" 15 row 7000 series Deere planter. Dads is a 4640. Same size and spacing as the neighbors but ours has great pains boxes over case ih 900 series units.What number JD? I absolutely love those Sound-Guard tractors
Don't remember the date but it was getting late. Some places the clover did well other places not there. Like you said needed to get earlier maturity grain.What date did you get your cover/hay crop planted last year? I tried some frosty clover the first of October with mixed results.

Sweet! I bought a 4640 last August. I am drilling beans with it this year. JD 750 drill.I was driving the neighbors 4630 with a 15" 15 row 7000 series Deere planter. Dads is a 4640. Same size and spacing as the neighbors but ours has great pains boxes over case ih 900 series units.
I'm with you on those series tractors. We always ran and I'll bleed red until I die but it's no wonder Deere jumped to the front with the 4000 series tractors,especially on the 30's and 40's. Good cabs, hydraulics, controls and transmissions really put them ahead. Drive a 1486 and then a 4640 and it's pretty obvious.Sweet! I bought a 4640 last August.
