Thanks for the information. I have pretty hard red clay where I hunt. Any concerns about the drill weight/down pressure in heavy ground? Have any of you had to add weight to get good ground penetration?

Any updates, especially with pictures of how things worked out this year? Thinking about going the no till route and considering these drills. Also looking at the genesis and Great Plains. Obviously this drill is a major step down but will it do the job for the substantially lower price vs the...

Thank you for all of the replies. I will try to answer all of the questions. The 40 in the center is my new property. The small field to the north is not ag. It is a field on the neighbors that is just grass. There is ag to the south but mostly woods to the north. It pretty much funnels...

I recently closed on my first piece of hunting land. I have been looking for a while but prices here in wisconsin have been crazy. I have wanted a place where I can try to get on some decent bucks and also test my children how to hunt and enjoy the outdoors. it is only 40 acres so there won’t...

What is the smallest size tractor did you use to pull this with?

Do yourself a favor and go into your local NRCS office and have them tell you what you need. These ppl are very helpful(I know, I sleep next to one at night) and will walk you through what programs have what requirements. Might save you some time and energy. Also, you might find a better program...

Depending on the quality of the lock your best bet may be a torch. Bolt cutters may work but it really depends on the lock. The other 2 options I have used are sawzall blades and angle grinders. I had a buddy who locked his receiver hitch on his truck and lost his key. Man did we go through...

I would check what the requirements are for that air drill. Depending on what it is your tractor requirements may be larger than you think. I know some folks that were sorely surprised by their tractors inability to pull implements.

I hope I can back in my next life to be able to afford land like that. To grow deer like that up here In Wisconsin it would take multiple millions to control the acres needed in the right neighborhood. Congrats on some nice bucks and good hunting

Sandbur made a great point about selenium levels above. I have veterinarians that swear a particular herd is selenium deficient and want me to go higher than legal limits. Others could care less. The generally accepted legal limit is .3ppm for ruminants. I would have to understand what else is...

I wouldn’t go through the effort of a raised bed. We have a couple of different type in our garden area but planted on the ground. They take wet soil, dry soil and everything in between. My best advise is keep the rows no more than 2 feet wide when you start. They will try to get wider but...

I am a dairy nutrition consultant by day so trust me when I say you need to be careful with selenium. There are toxicity issues when not fed properly. You may consider going to your local farm supply store and getting a salt fortified with selenium and other trace minerals. If you are he’ll...

Yup you are correct. Brain fart. Daedong As I recall.

I bought a brand new bobcat ct235 when the bobcat dealer in Wisconsin was blowing them out 6 years ago. I looked at John Deere and Kubota. The bobcat is just more tractor. Heavier built and the thing is a beast. With my loader it weighs in at around 3800#. The extra weight is a huge benefit. If...

I would re-evaluate your needs and time frame for wanting something done. If you can make something temporary work for a couple years I would suggest waiting until this market cools down. Contractors aren’t bad people but they don’t have to sharpen their pencil right now. When this economy...

That thing is amazing. Portable and comfy. And the deer see gravity boxes all fall so they won’t mind it a bit. For the love of god, please resecure that thing on the hill. I would suggest some bracing on the downhill side to hold it up. Shouldn’t cost much. And as someone else said, those...

I wouldn’t do it. I have used them before and my opinion is they are diesel fuel burners. You will need to add weight and it still won’t cut well. You will make many passes on sod type ground or anything weedy. I would personally look for a small 2 gang disc. It will cut much better and you...

I didn’t find an email address but this think will allow you to email them. https://yeti.formstack.com/forms/contactus

I just wrote yeti explaining my disdain for their choice and suggested I would never buy from them again. More folks like use need to make that point to these ppl.

The other thing to keep in mind with tillers is the cost to replace/fix parts when they break. It isn’t a matter of if but when they will get busted up if you have stones. If you insist on tillage I would utilize the disk and invest in a digger/field cultivator. It will be must faster and...
