700 series head on '94 R62

Is anything needed to make a 700 head fit a '94 R62 or is it just hook on and go? Thinking 30 ft would be the best fit (30-50 bu wheat and 60-80 bu sorghum). May have 400-500 acres of milo to custom cut this fall, considering another machine as that could be a lot for the N6 by herself. John 700 series head on '94 R...

Hello All I always felt that we Canadians aren't as patriotic as our American neighbours.

park brake repair on 2594 HELP PLEASE!

Western Canada Combine Prices?

With this years drought in much of Alberta and Saskatchewan -- it seems like the dealers in this area are having a tough time selling new combines and as a result -- there isn't as many newer trades (2010+) out there as prior years. Maybe the 20%+ exchange rate discount is a big factor as well? Question is -- will combine purchase prices be lower this year than next year? On the plus side of things...

Improving Profitability

Just wondering if anyone has any experiences on how they improved profitability on your farm, especially if you cannot expand by getting more land. I am pretty much stuck at the 2 sections I have. Stuff for sale is $3000 per acre and a lot of big guys have the rental market cornered. I grow Ok crops but have been leery to really throw the inputs at it. I have been content growing 25 bu flax, 35-40...

What, no one grew faba beans this year?

Louisiana or Traeger grill?

Our Barbecue has all but bit the dust. It was a premium unit when we got it and lasted 8 years, I guess I should be happy about that?:rolleyes: So the two units that have the most appeal to me are the Traeger and Louisiana grills. They are both pellet grills and are apparently harder to burn food with. For those of you with experience, which do you think is the better unit? Also an average sized...

PT suspended boom for high clearance

I searched and a couple years ago there were some guys using them. Are you still happy with them or have you updated to SP. I like the large tank of a PT and only crop 700 acres so it's hard to justify a big payment. I'm debating either a suspended PT or a 3630 to 4640 spray coupe but I'm not sure if the 2wd will screw me (next year when it rains). Thanks PT suspended boom for high clearan...

First Time with Raven 440 Controller

Hmmmm, I thought I did this right, but I didn't. I put a Raven 440 on my sprayer at the end of last year, the whole system: GPS speed sensor, flow meter, control valve, and the 440 controller itself. The controller was used, but in perfectly good condition, so I had to go through the set up. It's really straight forward and simple to understand. I drove a calibration mile, and it was 150 feet off....

Looking for help in getting a good 4yr rotation in place

Multiple VT passes vs 0Till after heavy rain

We finally had a decent rain. Driving around after I noticed that my one neighbour who uses a vertical tillage machine for his summer fallow and to prepare his seedbed still had water laying in his fields 2 days after the rain.

How fussy do you get on spray mixes?

I got to thinking about a couple of things, when Deere first come out with a SP sprayer the tank was 750 gallons I think it was.

Conservitive Bailout

Now with no rain in forecast and the outlook for poor yields I'm thinking that will change. I...

Need info on silage bales

So with the lack of hay I am looking at feed options to get through the winter. Years ago I used to put up silage but got tired of the labour involved . Do you put up baled silage and if so how do you do it. I have barley that I can cut and bale. Can use my haybine and new holland BR 780 baler ? I assume I would need to find a bale wrapper . Any info you can pass along is appreciated. Need info...
