This is very useful technology. Once you can visualize what the planter is actually doing, you can (potentially) do something to make it better. Good video, guys.

With this new technology you two lads sure have a very big learning curve but in the end it should save you money and hopefully make you more money. I can't wait to see how things come out this fall at harvest time. Best of luck.

Nice video. Does the cost of all the electronic equipment offset by the yield advantage? Does it pay instead of doing it the old fashioned way? Thanks

@TJ-bk9vf7 жыл бұрын
If you suck at driving then yeah there probably is a yield advantage but if you are competent then probably not. When you have a lot of point rows like Ryan has then the row clutches are probably more likely to pay for themselves compared to people who have square fields and where you don't farm the contours. If you do have a lot of point rows and you don't have row clutches you will waste quite a bit of seed and there could be a yield hit in those overlap areas especially if it would be a dry summer. *My opinion: Depends on the size of the operation and the type of ground you are farming but in a lot of cases the electronics are probably just more of a luxury than something that will actually make you a whole bunch of money. Edit: I should add that the technology will help things go faster. For example without row clutches if you wanna do a good job when you come to the end of the field you stop, pick up the planter, turn around, stop again, and set it back down. With clutches you just drive straight into your endrows and they shut off automatically and you can pick it up, turn around, and set it down all without stopping and over time that can add up to where you are getting a noticeable amount more done in a day.

@@TJ-bk9vfI know this is 6 years later, but someone might find it helpful. If you don't have marker arms, auto-steer is important (you can get by with GPS that doesn't have autosteer, but it is an absolute pain). In fact, I would say that it's more cost effective to get autosteer than to pay for the marker arm option on new implements.

Somebody enlighten me please. If they have all of the technology to include the steering assist why are the putting the row marker down? I guess they are using the steering assist and the planter monitors so maybe the row marker is just a check against the technology? Also, towards the last of the video is Travis planting in the 'burned downed' alfalfa?

Your finger pickup planter is very speed sensitive especially when seeding at over 12 to15 seeds per second. A vacuum eset plate would be much better at planting your higher populations.

A few questions; at 1:10 - 1:30 the screen is showing mostly green, what do the yellow and blue mean? Singlelation (sp) is what? Am I correct in thinking that the (marking arm??) (the thing that folds out) is not needed with the system showing the route? Sorry if these seem dumb but I am a "city" person and just don't know.
@austinnakaerts44537 жыл бұрын
dejanira2 the colors can show different things such as singulation spacing population down force and a few others. The markers are technically not needed with the Rtk system or any other gps. On my farm we use them on the headlands because it is to much of a hassle to use the gps on the headlands. Also smaller planters like this have markers because smaller planters=smaller or older farmers who might not use gps. Last these are not dumb questions at all it is good you want to learn
@tarefoot7 жыл бұрын
With your varieties of corn so close, want there be cross pollination? If so how can you get a good idea of which yields the best.
@robertreznik93307 жыл бұрын
Most of the yield is determined by the amount of starch a plant produces for the offspring. The seed has little effect on the parent plant unless pollination is abnormal.

@dwightkuster19857 жыл бұрын
Down. we dont lift it for the waterways.The boundrys are set in the monitor and it automaticaly shuts off the rows when we go out of the boundrys- like through a waterway.
@lukestrawwalker6 жыл бұрын
Yeah the BIL plants straight through too, but he doesn't have the electronics so it just keeps dropping seed... but his waterways aren't wide enough to really matter much. He told me to do the same thing when I was drilling soybeans for him. If you've got a lot of land and a lot of waterways, or are going through them obliquely quite a bit, I can see where the point row shutoffs and GPS would save you quite a bit... Later! OL J R :)

I'm not a farmer, what does population and singulation mean? What do the numbers mean? Travis said he wanted to bump the numbers up, what was he talking about?
@robertreznik93307 жыл бұрын
"Singulation" is the planting of one single seed in its allotted space. Corn has a sweet spot of space where it produces the most for that space. A double results in two plants competing with the allotted resources. A skip results in other plants having more resources but they may not be able to utilize this extra amount of resources into as much yield as the missing plant could have. A trait called flex allows for corn to utilize more or less space...corn is more complex than simple.
