    Most wells here are electric except where it was cost prohibitive to get 3 phase power to them. Some were natural gas but that was more expensive than electric.

    Farming Thread:

    The corn is fine except where it washed out. The insurance on the beets will pay for the beet seed and that's about it. Since it was in what they call stage 1 they figure you haven't spent as much on them yet so they only pay 60%, Or 35% if you want to have the replant crop covered. At least it...

    Hydra-Swings

    Our hay last year averaged 7 tons per acre or so between some older fields and new seeding. Not sure what that would be in small squares, we changed to all rounds a few years ago. Crapload of round bales... That swather is just parked on some grass where we park stuff, quite a ways from the hay...

    Hydra-Swings

    This is the 116 we have. Missing side shields like every other one I have ever seen. They get in the way when you need to adjust the chain and stuff. It was kinda fun to run but when we went to less but bigger tractors then it was more convenient to have a self propelled. If we still had one of...

    Nice pictures... I see you dualed the front of a ten series. How does it handle them? Turn ok? I thought about doing that to my 8100 for added traction in heavy pulling. Some people said I couldn't turn it then, but hell it turns good with 2 bales on the loader all the time... If you have some...

    Upgraded 2500HD Rotors...

    They probably haven't updated the list... Should be the same. Go ask the dealer for part numbers for rotors and I bet they are the same.

    Not really... Might work a part trade if you have a low priced bull like you had last year though.

    A lot of that lately...

    Hmm guess I was too high. Talked to the dealer today and he was thinking more like 3500. I was going to take some pictures of it today but then I got busy with other stuff and forgot.

    I think he was going to give us 5500 maybe for it trade in. Looks like that's about the average price on machinefinder. No side shields like many of them on there. We just rebuilt the gearbox when we quit using it first cutting last year. We were waiting on the parts and got a swather to use and...

    Hydra-Swings

    Pain in the neck if you need to watch it a lot. The trick is to cut smaller than your total width which you need to do anyway so it comes out right between the pivot tracks. That way you don't have to watch it at the edge so much. Also no reverser, although lots of older swathers don't have them...

    What tires do you run?

    Cooper STT right now. Quieter than the claws were and better in the rain. Good in the mud and snow. Practically identical to the toyos except for the different sidewall treads. They were cheaper than the toyos too. They ride really good and seem to be wearing ok. Worked well pulling heavy...

    Tractor Trannys

    Depends on tractor actually. On the early 7000s, like a 7800 a powerquad is nicer. The powershift in those seems harsher than one in say a 4250. Get in a later 8000 series and the powershift is the only option, but you don't need another option. In the earlier stuff, 50-55-60 series, powershift...

    Yeah we could row the corn and beets 2 days ago... Now everything is pounded flat and underwater. I wanted to get out of the drought but not by having over half our yearly rain in 2 days. Ravines everywhere in the fields now, and lakes other places. The corn will likely come back where it's not...

    Lets See Them

    Not a corn head, that era corn head was a 43. 53 heads have gathering chains like a corn chopper has. Called an all crop head. Guys run them in millet and shit like that too.

    Lets See Them

    Nice stuff there. That would drive me nuts planting with an 8 row when the 24 row was getting so much more done. I suppose that's for the small fields that the 24 doesn't fit into well?

    The complaints I have heard from guys that have T&Ls is that they strip out the drives easy, and when they start leaking in a few years they are hard to keep in line. We drove by one where they were trying to start it up and it was fountaining oil in the air, ran out 15 gallons of oil in a...

    Our deep wells are cased 220 or so, pump set at 200, drilled to 1000. Water level varies from 70-100 feet depending how hard people are pumping. On the other side of town though some wells that were shallow had to be redone. We run them almost constantly since the drought started in 2001...

    Auto-steer

    We want to get it but haven't yet this year due to cost. We had a few fields mapped and variable rate fertilized by simplot. Hoping to get the entire trimble/ag leader setup next year so we can do it ourselves. We have a valmar 40 foot air spreader that runs the rate like all spreaders off the...
