Wind, something with the drill I noticed yesterday.I could go for one of them to replace the cheap $100 buyers brand one I’ve been making do with. Will have to keep my eye out! finally driving to WI to pick up that 3p600 tomorrow. picked up a couple hundred # of rye to try it out with.
What settings did you use for your rye planting? Think I might just use that and let er buck where my Labor Day broadcasting failed.
Hey wind gypsy. Why did your labor day weekend rye planting fail. I was told yesterday my rye popped but without rain for the entire month of September its withered and died. Both June n September without rain in michigan ughhh
Wind, something with the drill I noticed yesterday.
The small seed box is really mean for real small seeds. Think white clover and switchgrass size.
With all the coated clovers, and larger seeds like subterranean clover and crimson I was planting yesterday, the seed comes out much slower from sMall box. It also gets the powder in cup where I’m sure I’m grinds up some of the larger seeds. I had to start putting those in the large seed box. Don’t know if anyone else has had this issue. The hole in the small seed cup is tiny, and the seed comes out under the gear so if too large it really gums it up.
I put the radish sized seeds in the large seed box. Clover and brassica (for the most part) go in the small seed box. No issues that I am aware of.I think the small seed metering is very similar to the setup on my Esch. I did notice that the radish seeds were on the large side and might have slowed the rate of all the small stuff too but it worked pretty well still.
I'd like to avoid radish in the large box if possible. I like being able to set the openers to 1-1.5" so the cereals, peas, beans, etc get covered even in the low spots where openers aren't as deep. Maybe i'll have to change that line of thought if the radish don't play nice in the small box.I put the radish sized seeds in the large seed box.

You’ll figure it out my man. I usually put brassicas in large box too, and crimson clover now. Remember green cover and others put all their stuff in same bag and it does fine. I’m gonna be more selective to only put tiny seeds in small seed box.I'd like to avoid radish in the large box if possible.

LOL.....I got 3 Ladder Stands out in good locations....and we have lot's of un-used hang-on stands.....and a ground blind that go unused each year. In our rifle season we generally get temps in the teens and sometimes the single digits. Nobody wants to sit in an unheated blind anymore when it gets cold. It's so comfy in those box blinds....and the chances of getting winded are so much less too. We have 9 box blinds with heat. Yeah.....we gone soft. Grin.Love the propane bottles at each blind location, must have in MN!
Yeah.....I know your right. But, I remember when we would crawl into an unprotected stand an hour before sun-rise......and would tough-out some pretty cold temps and winds......and only get down to pee.....and get back in that stand. If we had a Jon-E hand warmer......we tried to keep it working through the day. We ate lunch in the stand and would hang in there all day until o-dark-thirty.......and do it again the next day......and there were few deer in those times. We didn't have no stinking cell phones to tell each other nothing. I wore all the clothes I had....and still shook like a leaf from the cold. Man.....were we stupid and hard-headed. lol.You know foggy it's not called soft it just plain smarter. Don't tell me the first thing in the morning isnt to get heater going. Lolll. In guilty
Those plots looks fantastic. For all the calibrating and setting up you do on those drills, it certainly pays off.Yeah.....I know your right.

The deer on the wall hanging in front of me as I type this.....(a nice ten-er) was killed with my sandwich hanging out of my mouth when I made the shot at just past noon.......and I was facing with my back away from the tree because the wind had changed (OMG!) Now.......we go in at 9:30 for pancakes and sausage......so we can get out to the heated blind for the noon-rush.....and then back to the deer shack for a couple hours of football.....before heading back for the evening. lol.....times have changed! (It's all good).
We started using 1 pound tanks which would last for about 3 hours with our Mr Heaters. That became a hassle.....so we added a filter and 12 foot hoses or longer and added the 25 gallon LP tanks. Those work pretty good. Lately tho....I added the Nu-way gas heaters that require an exhaust......and use an LP tank. I like those in that you can keep the windows closed if you want....and you have far less condensation on the windows. Also much safer due to the exhaust.....and most of your scent is drawn thru the stove and up and out thru the exhaust vent at about 18' high. Also the Rednecks are more bug resistant and mouse proof.....etc.....etc.Foggy do you just run a long hose into the shack and keep the tank on the ground. If so great space saver
