Hey guys, here is an update on my planter fertilizer drill convert. I'm planting a combination of beans in my row units with a mix of summer cover crop seed and the other fields I'm planting corn in the row units with beans in the fertilizer hopper. The seed is coming out pretty heavy so I...

Yup

Here's an update on my planter/drill project. In order to move seed from the fertilizer box to 4 openers I rigged up a double tube inside one tube. It's not perfect but it looks like it will work. Now I will have to see how much seed I use per acre. Thanks for looking.

I was thinking that I could get away with planting and lightly turning the soil with S tines so I purchased 2 and mounted them on my planter. I was going to drill my cover crop mix and then come back and spread more wheat where the bare soil was exposed. The plan didn't work. the S tines...

Since I don't have a drill right now and am trying to not turn soil I'm trying to convert my planter into a small drill. I tried using my fertilizer box this fall with a mix of wheat, crimson, vetch, radish. I pushed the openers as far inside as they would go. For the finger pick up I used...

Found my fertilizer openers. They range from $350 each new @ shoup down to $75 each what I found in KY. I couldn't make it up there so I found a nice guy in Indian that delivered 2 for $250. Not the easiest thing to ship since they are about 40 lbs each.

SOLD!

On a positive note , this spot is a great place for quail to hang out so I hinged some trash trees along the road to give better cover.

I have some Chickasaw plum trees that are about 10 years old that has this stuff all in it. I pruned very aggressively, so fingers crossed if they will come back. Anyone deal with this stuff before and have suggestions to keep it out?

I have a couple extra Verizon and AT&T black flash, camo cameras. PM me if interested. These are brand new. $370 Verizon $320 AT&T http://www.hcooutdoors.com/products/spartan-gocam.html

I'm building one right now. It is a 5' model with wheels. I should have it ready by May.

Hey guys, I've sold 8 crop rollers so far and am looking to sell one of my prototypes. One is 7 foot and the other is 6 foot. The 7 foot has JD FEL plates which can be used on a 500 and 400 series FEL and the 6' roller can only be hooked up with the 500 series. You can push or pull these. I...

I planted some around a field of switchgrass and they did well. I know they make an incredible screen and are more disease resistant than Leyland cypress. You can root them from cuttings if you stick them in a sand box and keep them watered until the next spring.

Looking for 2 dry fertilizer openers. I found 2 in Hardinsburg, KY just south west of Louisville but they are pick up only. If one lived close to that location I would pay for pick up and shipping. Please PM me. Thanks, Erik

As a side note, I grew some wild pear seed I think in 2013. I had posted it on the old QDMA forum. Well, this is the first year I've seen fruit on those trees. Pretty cool seeing it grow from seed and bear.
