Planting pictures

[boots]

Started beans yesterday afternoon. First few rounds always a few headaches. We're are still pretty wet here from the back water. Working on 1 of 4 hill farms. Like my homemade canopy with a 1970s fan and overhead 2 speaker radio. Man after a few hours the headphones hurt my head. Boots

I have also started soybeans this week.  Left the phone in the truck while climbing on and off, setting the depth.  Likely grab some pics tonight.

Here is a shot while planting corn late last week.

Time is always the problem but that pic would be better with your Dad and your Grandpa on each fender!

Was nice having 4 generations all on a IH tractors today. Gramps at 86 was spreading fertilizer with the 806. Dad and my daughter ran the 1586 and field culivator and me and my son on the 826 and drill.

Couple pics from the other night when I was hooking the 856 Custom to the planter. Did not want to raise the planter without revving up the engine.  Took almost 5 gallons of Hy-Tran to fill it up to the full mark!  Raises planter at idle now. 😁

I've been planting when the weather is right (not very often) for over a month now.

Those pics are planting sunflowers and soybeans. Need pics of planting rice.

Dad ran the 1026 on a 400 8 row from 71- about 86-87 and then he ran an 8 row 500 until 94. Switched to the 1086 on a 900 8 row.

He planted 110 acres across the road from the house with the 1026 and 500 and only used 20-21 gallons of fuel.

I planted 55 acres of corn with the 1206:  6 row planter, 12 coulters, 6 trash whippers, 60 gallons of fertilizer,  seed and 110 gallons of nitrogen on board!  Used half a tank of diesel.

Can't get any pictures around here. That line of severe storms went through the area early this morning and dumped a bunch more rain. Shut everyone down.

Been running hard the last while trying to get done before the storm that just rolled thru, got rained out with 8 acres left. I'm ok with that tho, it was really dry.

Which Deere units are they? I have thought about taking the 3000 series units off of our Kinze bars and putting Max-Emerge units on. The 3000 series units are too maintenance intensive in my opinion. Specifically the seed tube guard/inner scraper. I have to change them every year and if they get worn too much it destroys the bottom of the shank. There seems to be quite a few newer take off Max-Emerge units available. The last Max-Emerge units we had were Max-Emerge Plus and I liked everything except the gauge wheel arm design.
