i have a small Lemken Saphir 7 combined with a rotary harrow and think its one of the most reliable seed drills in terms of seed germination. The combination of the ring-compactor right in front of the disc-seedshares guarantees a reliable deposition of the seeds deep enough to have enough moisture but shallow enough for easy germination. The rubber pressure rollers increase the contact between the seeds and the shares and control the depth of the Depostion
Yeah it’s pretty amazing how adjustable these machines are especially on the fly and I think when we switched to Lemken, we are getting about a 98% germination rate
Thanks for the ride. Very interesting equipment.
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great video, thank you.
Thanks for watching
I would love to see the process of planting around the irrigation pivots. Here in Ohio irrigation is not typically used.
I will try to make that happen
Amazing working thanks for making video
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
thats a really nice drill and be great for one pass for us the only issue is no dealer and i always think of dealer support
Yes, dealer support is a huge deal
Does lemken sponsor u in any way for all the positive advertising u do for them👍
In a way they have. They did take us down to Arizona to their event which was pretty cool, but all the positive things we say about Lemken is because their equipment just works really well and we really like it. We are very honest about things on our channel if something sucks we make sure you know about it. In an upcoming video we do point out a bunch of flaws with a couple things on the Lemken.
@@RockyMountainFarmer and hopefully they’ll fix what u complain about it…. Be a truly a good company then
@@mesh1248 we have given some input on other things and they have fixed them on the new models
How much seed does the drill hold? How many acres per fill? Have you started planting spuds? Will you be planting this Saturday?
It holds 144 bushels and probably between 60 and 100 acres per fill depending on your seeding rate. We hope to be planting Friday and Saturday but it is also supposed to rain so we will see.
That's a very interesting design but no I don't rotate tires. That's got to offer a very uniform seed depth.
Yes it makes it all the same
That holds a lot of seed! How many acres before it has to be refilled for you guys?
Also is that 8430 on 60” spacing? Think you said the potato ones are 72”?
I think we were refilling it at about 60 acres And our tires are spaced still too 72 inches for potatoes
What seed are you planting
It is a hard red spring wheat
Did you modify your seat? The rotation looks way wider 🧐
We have modified one of them I think, this one may have been the one we did
How many acres per fill can you typically seed?
Between 60 and 100. Kinda depends on what you’re planting. It has a 144 bushel bin.
@@RockyMountainFarmer awesome! Happy planting! Rained out in MN
Didn’t want to try the horsch pronto?
We did, but they were not able to get one out to us to demo. We are still trying to get a horsch chisel plow to try.
Can you lease it out to other farmers in the area?
I know some guys do custom planting, but it’s technical enough that I wouldn’t want to lease it out. People need to be trained on how to run this one.
Down here in the Mississippi delta that dude would get stuck in ten feet planting rice.
Well, I guess that’s why there’s different pieces of equipment for different types of situations
How wide is it?
This one is 20 foot, but they make a 30 foot
How wide it's this drill?
This one is 20 feet, but they do make a 30 foot
Over a 100k i bet eh?
I want a lemken sponsorship. Laugh
Yeah it is. Just because we have done a few things with Lemken doesn’t mean we got a discount because we definitely didn’t.
I don’t know of any equipment really that is under 100K
@@RockyMountainFarmer oh i wasnt saying you did i just love all lemken stuff and want all their equipment.
No thanks. To small. Plus i prefer to support American built and owned manufacturers.
They make a bigger one. I prefer to use the best.
@@RockyMountainFarmer Lemken the best?? I have a karat with a rear roller and hitch broke clean off the machine and welded back together by a machine shop that says different.
@@jayfarmer3911 the only way the hitch would break off is because of operator error
