Jed, do you do much no-till? What's your thoughts on it? I've heard guys say "No-till no crop" and I've seen others that seem to do just fine with no-till. I'm sure there's lots of factors to consider.

Denver I really like that track loader.

Alot of people have moved away from track loaders and went to dozers and excavators together, we still like track loaders and IMO they are one of the most versatile pieces of yellow equipment there is.

Battery cable gets a worn spot, shorts out and catches on fire, completely melts every battery cable on the machine, ruins both batteries, fries the gauge panel, and mostly melts down a 700$ hydraulic line. That's what I know about so far.

im not jed but we no till about 90% of our crops and no till cuts costs saves time no problems for us. We have been doing no till for about 15 years now. We have people we rent from that like to see the land turned over.

It's nice, this is its third year. I had to put new disk openers and disk closers (we run cotton attachments instead of Vee wheels) and some gauge wells on it this year. It went over about 10,000 acres so far.
I bought another twelve row kind of like but only a lot older and cheaper yesterday. I am going to offset the hitches 4" so each one will plant to the side of the bed, we will plant twin rows that way in soybeans.

That's awesome Jed unfortunately I think a new corn planter is out this year. Remember had been telling you about my sprayer problems... I got a strong suspicion I will be buying a new 1 this year jd dealers supposed bring 1 in April for us to try out and case dealer bringing one in may for us to test.
