IH Forever Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Enjoy. I think my parents are heading out for the show but I won't be able to make it again this year. Wait....the IL Governor's house is in DuQuoin??? I thought the only things that mattered in IL were Chicago and Springfield when the legislators are in session. Why wouldn't the Governor's mansion be in one of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dads706 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 The tanks are for herbicide. Pretty common when you are incorporating pre-emerge into the soil. Tanks on the tractor and spray nozzles on the disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like dads706 said, or liquid 28% nitrogen ran to a cultivator for side dressing corn. That’s what we hung on our 856 for years to cultivate corn and side dress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 The Mrs. and I arrived this evening. All registered and The 666 "Lucy" is parked among the featured tractor area. No pics as a thunderstorm was rolling in. Motel in Carbondale messed up our reservation, so we were upgraded to a 2 room suite! ? Wife is happy!
