The alfalfa field is not mine. I have many doe groups that use this field every night of “early” bow season in Wisconsin. I don’t have any dense grass within 4 square miles except swamps, which are not mine. The bucks I see are typically see or harvest are walking through my property and...

I can cut that stuff right now? Thanks by the way. I appreciate the response. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, this overgrown section is my property, right next to an alfalfa field. Here’s my debate: 1. Spray, fertilizer/lime, till?, then no-till beans and corn. I need some type of cover because this is wide open in eyesight of 6 houses. Or 2. Switch grass The area is pretty small. About 40’...

Hey y’all. Been away a long time. I see the site is doing good. Neglected my home food plots, habitat, and fruit trees. Time to get back to it. I need help determining which limbs to trim up on these two trees, and when to do it. I probly missed the time to do it over the winter lol. Thanks...

It is not spring pressure. It simply uses its weight to cut through with the discs, then the foot follows that path, and a few “openings” in the center or back of the foot drops the seed in the soil. The cultipacker then follows and smashes the seed into the ground. It leaves either zero or a...

I only cut in late winter or spring when it’s above freezing. I’m gonna give it a shot and see how it goes. Hopefully the trees survive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry bud, I wasn’t talking about hack-and-squirt methods for irradication of habitat. I was referencing where one cuts ~50% of the way through the tree, and tips it over to provide structure, and food at head level for the deer, while attempting to ensure the tree survives. My success rate...

Hey y’all. I have only performed hinge cutting in late winter/early spring. If I did some here in the fall, would the “survival rate” be the same or less? Any info from members who have done it in the fall? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Updates for 2022: I had to reset the drill depth coulters to align. I also put them on center for the drill teeth. I calibrate according to an approximation based off the bag. I believe these are 24” rows, I still haven’t measured. This thing is amazing. I can drill directly into sod...

Ok, I won’t put any fertilizer in it. I have a 5’ lime spreader I could probly use anyway. These rows look amazing. I drilled some more tonight as of Oct. 1 in northern Wisconsin. We shall see what it yields. Had I broadcast it I wouldn’t have wasted my time. Sent from my iPhone using...

Well, a few weekends ago I got it all moving and working again. I bent the handle so I could work it. Then I calibrated it the very best I could for winter rye. I then proceeded to no-till into my existing clover/weed plot I planted in the fall of 2019. These photos were taken 6 days after I...

Bahahahaha it’s not! And The 955 has been beat and has 3500 hours on it. Thanks for the heads up on the break fluid. I got them freed up the other day after a little banging and some motor oil and WD-40. It’s all I had. Thanks for the help guys, I’ll post back after the weekend. Sent...

Where are you located..... and what’s he asking? [emoji41] I’m heading all in for an excavator next. Im thinking I’ll start with a mini then move into the 20-40 thousand pound range. My brother in law who is a diesel mechanic told me to get one that is around 12 metric tons as it would be most...

Thanks! I’m excited to get it planting again! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been searching for about 5 years now for a “no-till-drill” in my price range - “almost free”. As my abilities in habitat improvement have increased over the past 5 years or so (meaning I’m closing in on more and more expensive wants(needs) lol) I knew I needed to take a step this year as I...
