barley is buried.

rustred · May 24, 2021

been pouring the coal to it last few days . got finished right before it started to rain today. busy weekend. vibrashanked 80 acres, then harrowed it with 560 then seeded it all in just over 3 days ... wow , i know what took so long... but i used the 660 and 560. seeded the 80 acres in 15 hrs. and less than a tank of fuel for seeding, i dipped the tank and still had 6 inches of diesel left. that's pretty good diesel sipping .my simple drill fill works good too, 3 minutes and back to it and at it.

Ground fit up nice.

Now do you have to harrow again because no press wheels

rustred · May 24, 2021

Yes I will harrow it but I am going to spread dry fertilizer first. Now going to be rainy weather for the rest of the week it seams. I was getting worried the rain would beat me but I won so not going to complain although it would have been nice to have the dry stuff on too.

I like the equipment. The Chev truck was perfected by the time they built that one. Other than a few cosmetic changes to the sheet metal, it probably the same truck as my 1976

Awesome Chevy!!! I like to see when people use old equipment in the fields.

rustred · May 25, 2021

the truck is 1965 with 48,000 miles. everything works good. has the 350 engine instead of the 327. in 1967 was a body style change , then again in 1973 another change . i like this style , i think it is more classy looking.

Nice.

How does the drill fill work? How do you get it full to each side, without overloading the center?

Hopefully the rain will hit just right and push the fertilizer in the ground for you .

If the fertilizer was spread ahead of the drill and you had a spike tooth behind the drill it would save a trip and both covered at the same time. We used to pull a spike tooth behind the old oOliver superior drill. We still use a chain drag on the great plains drill with press wheels.
