    Mount for a Spin Spreader

    Looks good, I have the same setup, if you do not have the welding capability Herd/Kasco sells a receiver hitch mount that bolts up as well.

    Building a Tree Row

    That looks good, I haven't received my trees yet, it has been a long winter so everything is late, irrigation will be after planting.

    Building a Tree Row

    Some of the input I am looking for is row spacing and tree spacing. I was thinking of 16’ between rows to aid in ease of weed control until grasses establish themselves. Another question is continuous weed mat or squares around the trees? Should I vary the trees in rows or plant blocks of...

    Building a Tree Row

    I have a local irrigation supply house that is designing the drip system for me. When we installed the irrigation pivot we had them oversize the pump to allow me to utilize that pump to supply my drip system.

    Building a Tree Row

    I am more interested in pheasants, but i do have a large deer population which will cause some problems, I intend to run a couple of hot wires around it to discourage them and the elk from destroying it.

    Building a Tree Row

    I am in a dry part of south central Montana, but I do have plenty of irrigation water available and good soil. I also will be putting a drip system in. I was thinking Buffalo berry, juniper and maybe choke cherrys. Not sure on amount of rows, but thinking 3-4.

    Building a Tree Row

    I am looking into planting a 1800 foot tree row, it will be outside the reach of the end gun of an irrigation pivot and I will be able to install a drip system for irrigation. This will be mostly shrub type stuff to discourage the predatory birds roosting and picking off my grouse and pheasants...

    Genesis Drill first impressions

    I mowed the standing crop in early March with my moco and burned the windrows. Last week we ditched 30" ditches in it prior to planting for irrigation flow.

    Genesis Drill first impressions

    I will echo River-X's comments, I just started using my Genesis 10 and have planted into unharvested corn, sorghum and sunflower fields that were mowed and burned this spring with no issues.

    Food Plot Irrigation

    I use the same sprinkler in my yard, I used the WB20 as well as the high pressure Honda or a cheapo 2" Pacer pump, Big B's numbers match what I see. I run two sprinklers on each pump and do not see much distance loss over one, I am only running 2-3 hundred feet from the pump with no rise in...

    Help me compare a Land Pride LP500 drill with a Genesis 5 Light drill

    I have a 606NT Great Plains, it works well in soil that has been worked or soil with minimal debris. I just purchased a 10' Genesis and will be using that this year, other than looking good and being real heavy I do not have a report yet.

    Sorghum Row Spacing?

    Here is a picture of mine on Sept 18 with 15” rows. Now that it has froze and been snowed on you can see down the rows of grain sorghum, as of now the deer have not touched it.

    Sorghum Row Spacing?

    I planted Sorghum on 15" row spacing, flood irrigated this year. Half of the field was a blend of forage and grain Sorghums (Blizzard Buster) and half was a blend of grain sorghums (Covey Rise). I am trying to create good winter cover for birds, both of the blends did very well but after some...

    Blind chair

    We have the big man office chairs, they are built for the weight so they don't make as much noise, and they are easier to sleep in.
