 Finished up my 45 acres of corn yesterday. It's been chilly but moisture was about right and it should warm up. Hopefully will get time to spray a couple of fields before they pop out of the ground. Some, including this one, need it but I wanted to get the seed in the ground as it was supposed to rain last night and today but didn't. |

Byron, in my mind you have the best planter ever made hooked to that Ford. ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |

| Friday was the first day for anyone in my area to hit the field, but unfortunately I'm a little slow at getting my stuff ready. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get going. Darrel |

I know of one that planted here on Friday then it rained once again on Saturday. Another guy was field cultivating some tiled bottom ground on Friday with his DT200 and 25ft field cultivator but once he started up a hill he couldn't pull it cause it was too wet. Also a mile down the highway from where he was the highway is closed do to backwater flooding, its amazing what tile in a field can do.

Dipstick, I really like the planter. I used a 333 frame with Air Champ bodies on it before and this is light years ahead of that even though it was the next model in the AC line. We just spent most of the day cleaning it up, painting the openers and greasing up the fertilizer stuff. Landoll built these planters after Deutz dumped them so I'm thinking of painting it Landoll blue to match my tractor. LOL. The New Holland is my new to me tractor after I sold my AGCO because they dropped orange. If I can't be orange I might as well be blue. I really like the tractor and the cab is tons better than the AGCO RT one I had. |

My neighbors had the obligatory Deeres, Case, and Whites. I had learned on a Deere 495A, went to an eight row White with runner openers and as long as I was in conventional tillage was very happy with it. It was a mess in chiseled ground, especially if the trash was a little damp, kept making piles of the stuff in the field. Next got a 4 row disc opener White and got along good except it was starting to show it's age. Two of my buddies that I traded work with had Deere 7000 series planters and I felt that I needed a newer planter. I comparison shopped Deere, White, and Deutz-Allis. I bought the DA 385 because of the four disc configuration and it was way superior to any of the others. I retired in 93 and sold it on my farm sale and wish I had it back to plant my 5 acres now. Oh well! that old live and learn thingy! ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |
