I was mainly just looking for summer forage for the deer and if I could get some doves in for the season that would be a bonus. I was planing to drill these as a mix, not really separately. It may not be the most well thought out plan as I’m a newbie trying to do a little bit of everything :) I...

Short question is can I drill beans and clearfield sunflower into existing annual clover? I hoped to not kill the clover and take off some browse pressure for the beans / sunflowers so they could establish for the summer. But if they will shade out my summer crop I will take glyphosate to the...

What sprayer do you plan to move to, or what’s a better quality brand? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glad it worked out! At work we can use really odd measurements so I have just got used to putting things in excel and not thinking about how small or large the value is. Sometimes a couple cents per pound turn into hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This is my first year, but I have felt decent success and accuracy so far. I am attaching my excel file I have used, maybe you can run your calculations against mine? I wasn't sure I could run your numbers in my sheet. I do 98.25 turns. At first I did samples from 3 cups but they were so...

This was my first year of using them and it was pretty easy. I tried to do the math on how many bags of fertilizer I was going to use and it just didn’t make sense how that was possible. Then a lady at one of the places mentioned that most folks rent buggies and then away we went! Sent from...

First year. My Summer plot seemed to be off to a decent start with germination but deer ate my beans, sunflower, cow pea mix before any canopy. Then had explosions of Johnson Grass and Sericea Lespedeza. Glyphosate will work but kills everything else. What could I really plant that I could...

Yeah I get that but I don't have the rear remotes.

I didn’t get the hydraulics. I felt like I was going overboard in so many other areas that that would be one area to draw the line. I didn’t feel like I had many times the wheel lost contact once I got going but I had set the drill with a slight forward lean. The first field I was just drilling...

omicron1792 Foggy47 I used my 3p500 for the first time this last weekend. I had the issue where if I leveled out the drill the front drive wheel would no longer touch the ground. But with it trimmed forward I didn’t feel I got the depth I wanted. The manual seemed to state not to adjust the...

I did tell the dealer it wasn’t the exact model. He seemed concerned and promised to look into it to see what happened. It has been on order since February and was supposed to be here at the end of April but delay after delay and I couldn’t tell if it wasn’t actually ordered or someone made a...

OK thanks for the feedback. I just got my LP 3p500 this week and it is the 7.5” spacing, but I had actually ordered the 6”. I just assumed for foodplots maybe closer would be better than with row crops. I wasn’t sure if I should be concerned or just roll with it. Sounds like it isn’t a factor...

Do you have any thoughts on the 7.5” 7 row spacing vs. 6” 9 row spacing for the 3p500? Was this your preference or just what was available? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I guess without wanting to buy extra equipment for actual ag GPS system I thought the phone might be accurate enough if you could enter spray widths. It would be just a little more accurate than just following a tracking line. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is there a decent phone app recommendation that will help guide me to ensure I get good coverage if I spread fertilizer or spay? I have odd shaped plots so just doing straight grid lines isn’t working too well. I have a boomless sprayer and about to rent a buggy to spread fertilizer and want to...
