Vario heads
Just wanting some feedback from people that have run the bigger Vario's 1200- 1230's especially if you have also used a draper head beside one for comparison. I am just toying with the Vario idea we harvest sorghum and mungbeans for our summer crops and wheat, barley, canola & chickpeas as winter crops, the issue I have had in the past with tin fronts has been in light crops getting them to feed...

Running Oats Through a Rotary Gleaner Question
I would like some advice as to how I can clean up my sample when running oats through my R50. Here's the situation:It's a 88' R50 with the standard chaffer and sieve. It does not have the option of return to cylinder on the returns, only back to the accelerator rolls.Last year was the first year for the R50 in oats. I ran with the book settings and I left the filler bars (3) in the concave as I had...

HRSW Seed test results - high fuzz
Has anyone cleaned their wheat and had it tested yet? How high of fuzz are you guys willing to seed? I have carberry which I saved and liked to seed but it came back as 12.5% which is obviously high, 80% germ. I'm not sure if that's a disaster waiting to happen or what??? I cleaned enough to seed at a higher rate. We've had fuzz in the area for 4 seasons so I don't think it matters at this point,...
Towing equipment with a pick-up truck
My general question is: Where do you draw the line with towing farm equipment behind a pick-up truck?The reason for the question is, today I saw a pick-up towing a 57' Flexicoil air drill and a 2340 tow behind cart down one of the busiest 2 lane highways in the province. I'd guess the cart and drill weighs 30,000lbs, it just seemed a bit sketchy to me. I might try something like that for a mile or...

Yield 2015 MB
I am surprised That The highest average yielding Canola is Invigor health.

1020 speeds
Was looking through the parts break for a 04" 1020 header. noticed there were several different sprockets / speeds for the auger and different size pulleys for the sickle. What is the pros/cons of changing any of these speeds while setting up to cut wheat and beans? What seems to work best? Ground travel will prob be less than 5 mph, and the head is 30 ft.

Seeding with 2 Air tanks
Just been thinking about buying a second air tank... Priced out a 550 John Deere 1910 cart but really dislike the tank configuration for seeding Canola. I'm thinking if I can pick up a tow between for a fraction of the price and be able to use one tank specifically for urea and use our tow behind for what we use it for now. Has anyone done this? We have a 9420 Deere and an 1830 with 1910 tow behind...

Differences in air flow between 60 series and 70 series
I am wondering what the differences were between a 60 series STS and a 70 series with the cleaning fan and/or air flow system. It seems to us that combining beside a 9770 with our 9760 in canola that the 9770 will do a cleaner job. Is there a way to update a 60 series to be like a 70 series?Differences in air flow between 60 series and 70 ser...

970 Case with cracked cyl. liner ??
Hey anyone with experience on these old tractors?All of a sudden last week our old 970 while running a grain vac cracked a liner, filled the crankcase with coolant and got hot. Pulled the pan and found it leaking on #6, pulled liner, found it cracked down by the bottom around the top O ring slot. Now these are aftermarket parts I put in about 9 years ago with only about 1100hrs on. The tractor has...
Degelman Pro-Till in pasture land
Has anyone used the pro-till in hay/grass land?? Wanting to break up about a half section of pasture land this spring before going in there with the drill. It's fairly rough in there as the hay stand(mostly crested wheat now with a little alfalfa) is close to 20 years old. Have quite a few gopher/badger holes as well. The land is on the lighter side. Would've liked to sprayed it out last fall but...

Y-drops for corn?
Looking for feedback on this product. I talked with a company rep and it looks like a real good alternative to side bander. I would like to not apply any n before planting and put it all on with y drops at V6. The only problem i see is I do not farm flat ground and wonder how they follow the row when the corn plant is that small. I farm some heavy clay and worry that with a side bander the n would...

Oversize load / wide load corridor problems
So I was hauling oats today, when along came some oilfield equipment down the highway, was a massive structure headed for Ft.Macmurray. They forced me to back into a small ungraded driveway with a good slope to it. I didn't like it one bit, and expressed my concern, the flag person was quite forceful.So I back into it with my tridem trailer, of course I got stuck! Also I tried to manoeuvre, and got...
NH SP 580 Parallel arms
Got an SP 580 16 row planter. have to do parallel arms and bushings on it. Trying to deiced if I want to put air bags on. Titan Machinery's quote on the difference was around 2500 more for bags than just putting the arms and bushings in. The tech guy said I could control the air down pressure through the Pro 600. Has anyone else put the bags on one of these planters themselves? If so, how was it to...
Harvest without the pre-cleaner extension
Has anyone ever removed their 70 series or S series pre-cleaner extension to see if there was any improvement in cleaning capacity in corn? I just can't help thinking that performance has to improve if the corn can trickle down the shorter pre-cleaner and onto the front of the upper chaffer. It would have to be a more efficiency use of both wind and top chaffer area.Harvest without the pre-cleaner...

Cat mt855
Just about to take delivery of a cat 855. It's being trucked as I write. After leaving it running on the truck in temperatures of -20 and below two warning lights have come on. Both lights are for track tension,left and right . Is this a result of the cold and idling with thicker oil or is a sign of more serious problems. When I looked at the tractor and drove it before buying it all worked good.ThanksCat...

Lift axels on grain trailers not working
Our Wilson super bee has lift axels and they don't work most of the time, there is a way to bypass them completely but our local shop hasn't figured out what to do, I haven't had much time to look, and to replace the valves is 1400 bucks and apparently take a month to get in. Anyone have any insight on by passing lift valves or making them manual lift off a valve instead of automatic lifting?Lift...

airguard seed brake on flexi 5000
I am going to install airguard seed brakes on my flexi 5000 57' seeder. It is single shoot. Has an all run IAS blockage system on it.

I also have flown remote control copters over my fields with gopro on it. I noticed how uneven my seeder seeds. It will...

656 Farmall
I have our 656 Farmall in the shop for its annual spa treatment and massage and found water in the hydralic/transmission system.

My first thought is to check the dipstick tube and dipstick itself for leaks as it seems the most obvious point that water may...

If it is, is there a way to boost the pressure by tightening valve or is the pump retiring thought wear?I would dearly love anyone's comments. Thank Yo...
