A tip for checking seed drop, tie up a closing wheel with a ratchet strap for the few feet before your overlap, then you can look right in the seed trench and see exactly what’s going on without digging

[@prjndigo]

ALWAYS document these kind of field repairs for them and chart your 15 minute blocks and repair materials, even tape, when you're working on someone else's equipment.

I loved the explanation of how the seed bin can hit the ground break the bottom of and flipp over into the gravel. I know because Cooper Did it!!!

[@SlipShodBob]

I know I might not have this right as I'm British and a farmer but I thought a touchdown was 6 points with either an extra kick gaining an extra point to make the usual 7 or they could go for a 2 point conversion by crossing the goal line into the end zone.

[@cw93711]

Your exactly right

You are the most health-conscious farmer I am aware of. Kudos to you!!

Whatever happened to the days of emptying the seed hopper, putting the right seed plate, adjusting the sprockets , filling the seed, sock it into the ground and go to plamt'en. Ahhh the good old days. Really, today's farmers are the best, love the videos. 👍👍🚜

Wow! Farm equipment has come along ways since I was on a tractor. Looks like it can save a lot of time if it is well maintained even though it is more complicated that the equipment I was on that looking that tractor and seeder make me feel like I came from the stone age. 😄

Lots of things going on. Hate that so many things have issues. Y’all work so hRd❤❤❤❤

[@donbennington677]

Back in the day of mechanically operated seed drills a change of speed still made a difference to the start and stop point. Simply because of the time the seed took to drop from the box to the ground

[@Sal_needs_Salt]

Seen some folks saying Destornillador for screwdriver and that’s what google says, but you’ll get laughed at by Hispanic folks😅. Flathead is desarmador de paleta and Philips is desarmador de cruz. From a fellow Hispanic in Northwest Iowa!😊

When I get sunburned I have learned from a Dr to put vitamin E from capsules on the burn and it will heal in a few hours but sometimes it still peels. As time goes along the burn turn to a tan after a few years.

That’s a diagnosis! Nice work, wiggle test and hunt. They do make a relay tester but you can just bench test them easy enough!

[@bradpogue3448]

Cole great job on getting the planters figured out. Things can be difficult

As a Tennessee Volunteers fan... a touchdown is worth 6 points and the extra point kick is the 7th.... go watch the end of the TN V.S Alabama game and you'll find a great example

Glad you are proactive about keeping as safe as you can from the sun. My dad had to battle skin cancer in his later years from all the decades of exposure.

[@nielsdybro9759]

It looks like those JD planters are getting a little too complex. Too much to potentially go wrong, but some self-diagnostics on the electrical side could be a big help. Hose and wire routing could benefit from some more organization so it looks less like spaghetti.

[@BType13X2]

It's like that with all equipment now. I work on large mining equipment and its a damned nightmare to troubleshoot if wires are not run point to point and labelling as you go. Troubleshooting is also a PITA because although you know that you may have an electrical issue its a matter of where the issue is. Hydraulics much easier.. where is the oil spewing out of? there's your problem.

Screwdriver in Spanish is Destornillador Cole.

[@GradyDuncan]

Is there a reason why the wires aren't under/in the cross bar? I understand it would be harder to work on but it would add a ton of protection to where hopefully you wouldn't need to work on anything within that section of wire.

[@colorado1088]

Some day maybe everything will be wireless talking to a wi fi in the tractor cab. Sensors could have no power wires but rather long life batteries that tell the computer when they are low. Solenoids could work that way too with bigger batteries.

[@lonnieschafer6099]

You need to do some research on your agleader. You only need 1 configuration per equipment. Also you need to measure your distances

There are several ways to say screwdriver in spanish. Here in South Texas on the Mexican border my tractor drivers all say :"el desarmador".

Cornstar family. Search for a car relay tester. $16 to 50 bucks. Instead of just looking at relays you can actually activate the relay and put a load across the normally open and normally closed contacts.

[@leddielive]

Why not have a day or two broadcasting seed by hand & then rake it into the soil, I'm fairly sure you'll love that John Deere planter then, Vanwall seems to be a pretty good dealer supplying the side by side, renting the tractor/planter combo & they appear to be there for you when it comes to you needing assistance. I am really looking forward to seeing any yield difference between all three of the planters you've used this 2023 season. 👍

[@robertcarney6259]

wandering what the dry lubricant for the seed does to the soil. hmmm.

[@KevinBenecke]

John Deere doesn't burn up. It blows up. I bet that someday that they will come up with sensors that drag on the ground and it can adjust itself to the ground conditions on the fly. Now you know what Zach deals with with his green machines.

You need to be traveling with water. I am hypoglycemic and have dry mouth. So I drink water all day long. When one of my doctors got a new device that measured the water content in the body, I was the only patient that had the correct amount. Before surgery I was drinking two gallons a day minimum. These days it’s over a gallon but not quite two. I always have water in my vehicle and my backpack. Keep the videos coming and I will continue watching my friend! 😎

[@Bailey463]

How come you don’t roll the soybeans? Studies have shown it helps with sprouting by about three days with the compaction.

Also makes harvesting much much better and increases yield since you can get the header lower to ground
