Appreciate the words, Jon! I think this year more than any it’s been easier to be critical of it because of the falling prices. But if we can continue to get timely rains, there’s at least something - which for some guys, they didn’t even get that

It’s been such a weird summer watching the storm fronts come across. I’d say Oceana/Muskegon counties keep having the storms either go north/south. We got less than an inch all July, when most areas seemed to be picking up an inch every week. The extended forecast even now doesn’t look the best - about 10-14 days until the next rain chance

@@RemembranceFarmsLLC yeah you’re in a little dry pocket there

that’s how it’s been here splitting going north and south. 3.1” from the hurricane 5 miles west of me got 7 inches which I didn’t want that much but today you wouldn’t even know we had 3.1

@TheGrumpyFarmer Watching IowaFarmer, I shouldn’t complain, because too much would be worse. It’s certainly been weird how spotty the rains have been this summer though.

I’m so sorry for my slow response!! I took a little break from UA-cam, but wish I would’ve responded sooner. I actually made mine homemade. Hopefully this link works of me making them. Overall, I’m really happy with them. ua-cam.com/video/Z3NDGxEYHaA/v-deo.htmlsi=TRsV8NDTrLy0qo92

@@TheGrumpyFarmer may have swung a little wide on the corner - probably should’ve downshifted 😆🤦‍♂️

@@TheGrumpyFarmer Well now that you brought it to my attention, that’s all I can hear now 😆🤦‍♂️ I usually like flying the drone but typically it’s right when I need to be busy, so I don’t always get to

I’ve heard that about him

@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 haha. I really thought it was an interesting perspective 🙂 Right now I use a combination of different programs. I use John Deere Operations Center to initially create the prescription based on 3-5 years of historical yield data. And then I export that into AgLeader SMS to get the maps for the Integra. Based on the historical yield ranges, I try to match the lbs of nitrogen with the expected yield. I have fun with it :)

Every so often I’ll see them on marketplace. Too rich for my blood though. I think ~$500 per row x 24 rows. I also think I’m a bit limited with the x-fold boom - I don’t think I’d be able to fold it with them on. With that said, I watched a demo of them once at a farm field day, and they do seem like a great setup. Puts the nitrogen on either side of the corn row.

@@RemembranceFarmsLLC holy shit I didn’t realize they were that expensive 😳🤦‍♂️

@@TheGrumpyFarmer They do have a pretty extensive mount, drop pipe, plus y-unit. But yeah, every time I’ve thought about it I just couldn’t justify it 😬

If only the tank would fill up that fast 😆

Thank you Jon! The funny thing, from time to time I wonder if I should find a 1600 gallon pull type like my Dad’s farm had - just because filling up less often would certainly be nice! But like you said, the speed and maneuverability is certainly nice! It doesn’t take up too too much space in the barn, and leaves two less tracks in the field. I use this for sidedressing too with drop hoses - something I took from your channel many years ago!

How else would I be able to watch movies, make TikToks, and text while spraying 😆 (kidding - on some of that)

On the floor?

😆😆😆 You’re not wrong. But - now I don’t have to reach up and turn the boom off when I turn around on end rows. 😉

Hey be nice Grumpy, you hurt Doofus ags feelings with your comments I see🤣🤣

@@mrbill4187 Kevin and I are friends so I can call him a nerd and he knows he’s one 🤣

@@TheGrumpyFarmer🤣 🤣, I knew you were freinds. He's farms only a town away from me towards the big lake.

I try 😆 They were probably thinking the same thing in the chopper as we’re sitting in the back eating pizza

Haha. It’s fun when Andy gives me a hard time. He’s a good guy so I never think anything of it 😆

All washed up and put away early this year!! I’ll admit, it’s a good feeling. I got all of my spray on this past weekend, and now just have to sidedress yet. I figured I’d wait for the corn to get a little taller this year, so maybe 7-10 days away yet.

Take this country back in November!

😆 When I needed a quick UA-cam approved song and didn’t take too long to find one. Haha. It does feel really nice to already have it washed up and put away!

Yes sir!!!

I’ll admit, that was one of my favorite parts about this spring is I didn’t have to keep hooking and unhooking - especially the planter. Tillage equipment is never too bad, but the planter takes a little bit. I’m so happy with the 9200 this year. Obviously a bit nostalgic too, since that’s the model my Dads farm owned. But it did such a good job with tillage and was definitely more efficient in pulling it compared to the 8245R. (By the way, I thought I replied back to this two weeks ago so I feel bad I never hit send!!) Hope spring planting went well for you too!

See, went right as planned buying a tractor I really didn’t need, but knew I really really wanted after looking at it on Christmas Eve 😆 Got me unstuck and helped me get the corn planted in time.

Maybe not smiling 😆 Some choice words instead since I knew I needed to stay productive planting. Plus my brother was out of town that day, so I wasn’t sure who to call for help. Thankfully I had a buddy close by that was able to drive the 8245R while I pulled with the 9200 🤦‍♂️

All things considered, I’m really happy with the soil conditions this year. Some wet areas yet, but nothing the 9200 couldn’t make it through (my planter tractor - not so much as I showed in my last video 😆)

Well thankfully it was the far back corner, so had I not posted it on UA-cam, no one would have ever known 😆 (My Dad used to joke that if a John Deere were to ever break down, you needed to tow it behind the barn so no one could see)

Haha. The funny thing we actually call the 9200 after my wife (“Alyssa II”) since it arrived on Valentine’s Day so it must be her tractor now 😆

I’ll have to check that out actually! I’ve typically had the sensitivity fairly high just so it adjusts quickly. But it may be better to not have it steer back and forth so much. (Always figure it’s still less than I steer back and forth 😆)

Haha. I don’t know what you’re talking about - John Deere’s don’t get stuck 😉

About time, right?! I was really worried I wouldn’t be planting until June 😬

It certainly sounds like it outside of the cab! I’ll sometimes forget until I get out to check on things and I’m like “wow, that’s loud” 😆

Thank you! Proud to be flying it! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Thank you for watching!

I’ve been so thankful having the 9200 on the farm this spring. Certainly helped when it was a tighter window to get things done! Thank you for watching!

Haha. Funny how when it holds off raining long enough to plant how happy you can be 😆 Hopefully things are going well your way!

Haha. Stress of continually looking at the forecast and not knowing exactly when it’ll be good to start planting 😆🤦‍♂️ So far the 10 day doesn’t look good

I actually didn’t, no. I did take out the two outer shanks to bring it down to 30’ (width of the rolling baskets I pull). But figured taking the frame off would’ve been a lot more work than needed :)

Well since I have Hudson on barn cleaning duties right now, only a matter of time before I can convince him servicing the equipment is a “fun” job too, right?! 😆

I think he’s really excited and waiting for actually being out on the fields. Hopefully in the next two weeks!

Thank you so much for watching!

Hopefully it’s an easy install for you!! I was pleasantly surprised with mine. The instructions may not have been the best, but it seemed straight forward. The one thing I’d probably do different is have larger self tapping screws instead of bolts. Good luck!

I was able to get mine from Shoup! Part #27450. Pretty easy install! Reach out if you have any questions though

I’m still impatiently waiting 😆 Hopefully in the next two weeks at least

Oh calm down Grumpy, He got it finished and now things are good!!!!

Procrastination at its finest. 😆 Looking back, thankfully it wasn’t too bad of a job. But with how heavy those pieces are, I wasn’t looking forward to it. The loader was a big help this time though.

Now I can be more excited for spring to be here 😆

I’m going to feel really dumb if that’s a feature on my tractor and I didn’t know it. I feel like I’ve seen that on the IVT but not on the 16 speed. It’d be nice if I was wrong though!

Ya just push the trans button go to 16 push set button and it will shift by itself depending on engine rpm think u can set shift patterns based on what rpm u want it to shift at somewhere too.

@brucebruhn5620 Now I’m going to have to check that out! Thank you!

I like it in field too set ur working gear and when u throttle down for end rows it'll downshift n upshift when u throttle up again . The button on ur resume switch push back to activate on its own or will activate when u hit resume if ur autotrac n

Thankful that it has gotten cooler again this past week. But still so far away from our normal warm up that I don’t quite know what to expect yet. Hoping and praying for the fruit guys, since I know that’ll be pretty dicey until May

As much as I’ve found it “fun” getting a chance to do tillage in March, I’d rather have snow cover and moisture. I feel like it’s going to come back to haunt us. Did you have a dry 2012?

@@RemembranceFarmsLLC yes but not as bad as the Midwest

I actually don’t do any no-till. But I do yield map all of the fields so I have a better idea where to variable rate my planter. Most of the sand/lighter ground gets a lower population. But I do tillage on all of it though.
