RDH Outdoors was one, and I purchased a 3 row 71 flex planter from them several years ago, refurbished unit. It worked fine and I have nothing negative to say about RDH. I also ran the design/idea by a local fabricator, but couldn't get a clear "this will work for sure" out of him. Dave at KS...

I had Dave from KS Farms build me a custom 3 row planter for the front of my tracked skidsteer (plant driving forward), Kinze pusher units with no till coulters. His operation is top notch and products are top of the line. I drove from northern WI to his farm in Kansas to pick up my planter...

If you're a 'buy once, cry once' kind of guy......buy a Davco. Davco cutters are known as the best long term rotary cutters on the market (they're made in Alberta, Canada). I'm in the same boat, wanting a rotary cutter and I refuse to buy cheap....so I'm watching for a used Davco on auction...

I'll post some pics of the ones going up over the next month or so. I just sold a truckload of them and everyone seems impressed and happy with their Muddys.

Go to Missouri Wind and Solar's website and check out their pond aeration kits. When I'm done digging my pond this year I'm going to install their 100 watt pond aeration kit. Solar powered with a digital 'power without batteries' inverter controller. Here's a great video by a guy who used...

I plant rape, radishes, and turnips on several properties in northeastern MN and northwestern WI. I start planting the first week of July and continue until the end of July. All of these plots produce large bulbs and plenty of forage, so that is the planting window that has worked for me over...

Not a whole lot of fun at all, pure black soupy muck on the trails. It was one of those " I'm never doing this again " jobs.

These are the last batch of custom stands I built for a customer two years ago. No longer had time to dedicate to building them, so I looked at a bunch of the commercial blinds on the market and became a dealer for Muddy Bull Blinds. These last blinds were 6'x8' octagons with DeerView camo...

Yes I agree, overkill for most working on their own plots. However, the problem I was running into was the property owner that was fine with my charges for food plot work, but after soil testing....had low ph in sometimes heavy clay soil and required a lot of lime. Pelletized lime is expensive...

I bought a Stoltzfus Hunt Club wet lime spreader last spring and it is the cream of the crop. PTO driven chain and spinners, will hold 2.5 tons heaping. Built to the same standards as their big boy spreaders. Mine has a low rate feature for spreading large amounts of fertilizer down to...

My name is Chad from northern Douglas County, WI along the Minnesota border. Married with two girls, ages 8 and 5. Full time food plotter for northern WI and MN. I started from scratch several years ago using a borrowed walk behind tiller on my own plots, last year I planted 67 food plots...

The beans I planted on several MN and WI properties last year were: Legend Seeds- LS 01R656 (0.1 maturity group and RR) Medium Tall, Semi-bush. Excellent pod production and beans stayed in the pods until eaten (well into winter). I over-seed winter rye into all of my bean plots early September...
