@MatthewCKrueger @CRNAfarmer2 @twostarfarmer If I couldn’t have conceal I’d go back to a dribble system. It’s just messy and hard on the back of the row unit as far rusting everything.

@MatthewCKrueger @CRNAfarmer2 @twostarfarmer We started with a band sprayer and stream nozzles and followed the planter and after two years of that it was obvious that liquid worked. Then we went to a dribble system out the back of the closers (by far the simplest) but ultimately ended with conceal.

@MatthewCKrueger @PrecisionPlant We have learned a lot about them the hard way and there were many times early on we were ready to take them off but now have been very happy with them

@MatthewCKrueger @PrecisionPlant They work well as long as you don’t try to run them to deep and its crucial that you don’t set the gauge wheel to tight to the disk openers, they need to be looser than probably what you are comfortable with. We have around 6 years on them with no plans of changing as of now.

@josh_sayler @MattMbfarm @kyleplattner Autopath does this in every field of mine when planting and trying to use autopath boundaries. It adds an extra round sometimes two compared to using just a regular straight track but anything in season using the source passes it works great

@ndrockfarmer @Tireboss The combination of both worked really well. I would have a hard time choosing one over the other but I’m a fan of the bigger tire and then I just run the 420s for pres and everything

@MatthewCKrueger @JohnDeere I have had really good luck with active yield. If I can’t get it calibrated it’s usually because my moisture is off. I have found the moisture reading is key

@mnbeetfarmer I havnt noticed anything. Before we put tire boss on we ran the psi to low and got pretty hard on a set of tires. Since putting it on the tire life has looked awesome

@mnbeetfarmer That’s on our New holland front boom with 1600 gallon tank. On the John Deere 1600 I do the same but I can only go down to around 22psi when the tank is empty. It’s not balanced as equal front to rear and rear tires squat more than I’m comfortable with below 22psi

@mnbeetfarmer I’ve run as low as 18psi when my tank is empty. Air them back up to 26-28psi while I’m loading water and then chase it back down while I spray. I air up to 46 on the road for short drives and 64 for longer ones and if I’m carrying some water

@LouieDN This is using gen 3 20/20 with implement guidance and a John Deere rate controller for liquid. Check your layers in the map settings to make sure it has what you want to view selected

@ndcornkid I’ve had the top chaffer actuator motor go bad and would do that. It would push the louvers shut when material was flowing over it but when you stop to look they would spring back up. The better the corn the quicker it did it.
