Ran strong yesterday, then had to load fat hogs until 8:30 last night. So, I only had 20 acres to finish this morning. All of our sidedressing is done now (urea/anhydrous). After this unprecedented spring, we are sitting in pretty good shape overall. Had spots where we had to replant, and quite a few spots where corn drowned out but not worth smashing a bunch of good corn to spike in new. You can definitely tell what fields are tiled well. I feel for everyone dealing with this spring . A lot can happen between now and when the corn is in the bin, but if we don’t have more weather issues (especially during pollination) we should have a decent yield. Here are some pics and gifs from the last couple days, JD 8310r and Nutri-Placr 4300 (15 shanks, 37.5’ wide): |

I am often 3-4 miles from the house working with my tractor without any support such as tools / water / food etc. i have been wanting to build a easy to reach tool basket on the front, and a bigger tool box on the rear, well i just got finished with them. needed The basket is something to hold my rifle..phone, pistol, water bottles, and other random crap i need easy access to. iv got a gun rack im going to add to it as well when i get around to it. its also got a mounting spot for light switches, ( lower right side ) as im planning on adding a led light bar to the roll bar, another on the brush guard and work lights facing the rear.
Attached File Attached File Attached File the tool box on the back is 10x larger than the tiny factory one, and its made so i can strap a small cooler onto the top of it. the tool box has tools, implement pins, tape, gloves... and a decent sized first aid kit with israeli compression bandages and tourniquets in it as well.
