You are completely correct. It is 1-11/16.

Thank you. Yes the rocks can be a bit of a pain, however this particular planter moves them out of the way so it’s not too difficult when I’m using it.

I ordered this online and they delivered it right to the farm

I use a 700 pound hopper/spreader when I fertilize and Lime my fields. I till that in and then plant with planter.

I appreciate the comment. Thanks for taking the time to leave a response.

Your BX23 would be just fine to use the planter. It weighs a few hundred pounds but the hydraulics of the Kubota will lift it easily. I use it on an LX3310

This was the Spring of 2023, and yes I have very rocky soil. I an at the base of a mountain so there is a ton of rock ranging in size of a fist to a football throughout my property. I have very similar soil to PA. I am only a few miles south of Gettysburg PA. The crops grew this year but we had drought like conditions all growing season so it wasn’t as good as 2022.. hopefully 2024 will be better. I absolutely love the planter. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve made on my small farm. Thanks for the comments and I look forward to communicating in the future.

Great question. I put up an electric fence around areas I try and protect from deer. This does not prevent small animals from getting into crops but larger animals won’t go in. I also plant outside the fence with what could be considered “sacrificial crop”. It is usually cheaper seed and not something I plan to sell. Other than that there really isn’t much I do to protect the sunflowers. The corn is pretty hardy and survival rates with deer graze seem to be pretty high so far. I really don’t have a problem with the smaller animals at this point. I purchased the electric fence from Tractor Supply. The solar type system I use is very effective. The initial cost was roughly $150. I guess it depends on how much field you are protecting, but it works very well and is a set it and forget it system. Hope this helped and thanks for watching.

I should have said Foot Pounds but I wasn’t about to redo an entire video to fix something most people realize was a slip of words.

I used a floor jack to set the first two jack stands and then alternated to the opposite side. I just kept repeating this and adjusting the jack stands until they were maxed out in height but still able to be pinned in place so they were locked correctly. I just reversed the process to lower it.

@@bmcallister4539 many thanks!

Really glad you liked it. It’s a very easy job once you know the basics.

Yes Sir there sure is. I end the video adding grease to that exact fitting. Thanks for the comment and feed back. There will be more videos coming soon so please stay tuned and let me know what you think of them and please add any ideas you may have for future video topics.

The sprinkler does run off a well but it’s not dedicated just for that. I have 300’ of 3/4 inch hose connected to a yard hydrant that flows 60 gpms. The elevation of the sprinkle sends the water just over 100’ (50 feet to either side) I use my judgement on how long I leave it in one place before moving it. The soil is very dry this year. We have had very little rain. I only used it that day though because I wanted to get the seeds to germinate and not burn up.

I’m very glad it was helpful. That’s the entire point of the videos. I know there are a lot of people looking for this type of information so I thought I’d do my best to put as much of it in one place as I do it to aid people in what may work for them also.

Thanks for the comment. The instructions I have with the machine say there are only 3. I’m sure different machines have differing grease points though.

I have a rcr 1260 and have a grease fitting on the wheel bearing also

Nice video really helpful

@@catjuggler333 I have one there as well. In the video you will see me grease that one last. There are 3 in total on this unit. Maybe different year models are set up a bit differently when it comes to their locations.. thanks for the comment and the interest in the video.

@@lestermiller1388 really glad to hear it was helpful. That’s the whole entire reason I started this channel. Hopefully my video and editing skills will continue to improve and the quality of the content will be better as time goes by for a better viewing experience.

Thank you. Yes you are correct, 1 and 11/16th. Great catch and thank you for pointing that out.

Lefty lost or backwards thread? Have tried but can’t get bolt off counter clockwise Thank you!!!

It works great, but you definitely need to remember to adjust the size of the opening or it will double or even triple drop seed.

Thank you!

I have not tried any other seeds besides sunflower and corn. It is designed to plant corn and beans but with the adjusting wheel I would be comfortable planting a lot of other things. Pumpkin seeds, depending on their length may be a bit of an issue with consistency in spacing though if they don't land in the wheel just right.

I apologize for not seeing this comment earlier. I ordered it over the internet. There are quite a few places that carry it. It is a Field Tuff 2-Row Corn & Bean Planter For Tractor. If you google that there are many places that carry it in stock. I believe Tractor Supply and many stores similar to that have it ready for pick up or delivery. You can occasionally find them on Facebook Market Place as well, or another variation of it. Hope this info helped you.

Is there no fertilizer hopper for this one?

@@financedfish6852 No there is no fertilizer hopper that I'm aware of. The hoppers and set are are pretty basic, which is why I went with them in the first place. I just mix my fertilizer and Lime in a spreader and put it out like that.

Swampah, yes, that is correct. One bag, form, label, and check off sheet per kit.
