Wes806 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Fixed the rear tire on the 756. Patched the tube. Got a piece of wire in the sidewall from bushhogging the woods off Sunday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acem Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Used the 826 to pickup and lower a 470 disk while replacing a axle... Changed a flat on the 886 (18.4×38). I'd rather be driving a tractor... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeB230 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Got to haul manure with the mx 230 and 4600 gallon tanker. We have custom manure haulers here with Fent 930s with 6300 gallon houl tanks. There hauling as much as me even though there going twice as far as me even though I can only get 23 mph at like 2160 rpm even though it's supposed to go 27 (it's a European tractor) its not hitting quite full rpm it only can if you have the clutch pushed in and no load on motor. But it also could be the tires on it after we put tall tires on the 270 now it looks like it has under sized tires. I think I got 15 loads today before the rain came, the tractor also rides super rough I feel like it's going to snap something going 10 mph on a 2 lane road maintained by penndot. the 270 makes the 230 look like a joke when it comes to ride quality and the 270 goes 28 mph with the tall tires even though I was hoping for it to go 30. I did figure out I only burn 4 gallon per hour over 14 hours I have half a tank at 65 gallons of a 130 tank. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acem Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Spent 5 hours hooking up to the planter!?!? I bought this cih 900 3pt planter a couple years ago and have always had problems hooking it up. They made the 3 pt lower so it would pick up higher. Unfortunately I only have one quick hitch that I can get to fit it. It's one that can be put together several ways for different dimensions. Unfortunately I also have to have that quick hitch set up a different way to fit another implement. So I tried my 4 other quick hitches thinking that surely I could get something to work but I failed. I got mad and just cut the extra crap off and it's back to the factory arrangement.

acem Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 These drive off the tires out front, not the packing wheel. There used to be lots of IH and CIH 3pt plate planters in eastern Arkansas. They grow their row crops on wide beds fordrainage. Trailing and semi mounted planters do poorly on beds. I've seen a couple 955 3pt cyclo planters. Now I see 12 row wide stack fold vacuum planters. Both jd and cih. Thx-Ace 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH Forever Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Don’t get to do much tillage since everything is strip tilled or no tilled. But this farm was tiled a couple years ago so we’ve worked it the last 2 falls to level off the tile ditches. Also field cultivated the neighbors who my brother custom farms for. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Finally hit the field tonight with the 826 and the 15' 37 disk. We no-till, so it is just grassy spots, piles of debris off the combine, washouts, gopher mounds and holes, etc. However, it ends up being a couple days work. I had never used the the 826 in the field until now. I was really impressed! The 358 engine is stout and sounds sweet under load. The hydro is strong and handled the job easily, even up some steep hills fixing washouts along waterways. I am a believer that hydros can handle tillage without issue. It was nice just easing the lever back to slow for a turn and leave the throttle set. Then drop the disk back in the ground and nudge the hydro lever forward to speed back up. The engine sounded so smooth when I let it cool down before shutting it off for the night. It liked the workout too! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahamfireman Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The 5088 in frame was finally finished a couple weeks ago so it went on the grain vac for a shake down. 1900 bushels and about 4 hours on the new motor, all good so far. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH OAK Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Put new points in the striptill. We were using rock points because we have a lot of big rocks but we only got 200 to 250 acres out of a set. We finally got the carbide points today and in the last 5 hours I've done 120 acres and they are not showing any wear yet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shallowest this thing will run is six inches and that's all this 7140 wants to pull. My boss is looking for a 9x50 so we can go 8 to 10 inches deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
