Love that you added Better Help your sponsors. I am an advocate for some things for the Army National Guard. I have actually dealt with to suicides. One was post-suicide. The other I stayed with the young man and got him help. Farmers have a higher rate of suicidal tendencies than the general public.
Good for you talking about help for yourself with Better help , and yes it is Tuff for some of us that suffer with this , it if far better to talk to someone before it goes to far , Love the new planter , one of the most important machines you have , if that is not right nothing is
If you are having problems locating air/vacuum leaks try a smoke based leak detector. Fairly cheap, less than $200 for an acceptable one to get your feet wet as it were.
When it comes to JD planters, the DB setup is the only thing I found that allows for a standing green cover crop to flow right through the planter. We had the old Stine seed twin 20 set up. It was wild, 72 rows. We could do everything with it, twin 20 wheat, 20” beans, and twin 60” corn. We needed to get bigger on the harvesting side and get rid of the Maximizer’s, and being controlled traffic, we went to the DB-120, with the wings taken off, which makes it 90’ and STS combines running 30’ heads. Quite frankly, 104 row units leaves so many opportunities for down time, it wouldn’t work. Even if you could pull it. So we built a twin 60 corn planter, a 20” bean planter, and bought a 30’ ccs drill for wheat. One planter for all crops, I do it all that way. The cow is king around here, and a 5 SERIES with a mower, and later a round baler scoots right down those gaps. We grab’m and take them to a corner of the field, make marshmallows and unroll sweet tender silage during the winter. This year we’re full 40’/120’. I built on the twin row concept, but went to an ultra narrow row concept. Every 40’ there are 24 rows being harvested by 12 20” gathering chains. Moral of the story, having those wheels out away from in between the row units is priceless.instead of row cleaners, we have a generator and three 80” zapping bars. Instant cover crop termination. I don’t even roller crimp anymore, just leave it. I think that’s a disadvantage on poorer ground, but on sweet, high fertility it’s fine.
Are u going to stay green most people don’t know about John deer moving all production to Mexico Iowa and Illinois plants are in the process of closing now
@@dennisbethards3231 not 100% sure yet. We have talked about going to different colored pieces of equipment here in the past. It all just depends on if their quality can stay the same and if we think there’s a reason for us to leave. It does really sadden me though with everything moving to Mexico.
If enough farmers stood up and said we won't but if you move to Mexico they might change their mind. This is another Blackrock led initiative to sunk the US economy.

Now that is a mighty fine looking planter!
I'm sure you gave it some extra special care before it left the lot!

Congrats on the new planter!

That thing is sweeeet. Helluva upgrade
Yea! I can't want to see you do your fix it up the way you like it! Also did I miss why you're changing planters?
We just try to upgrade a piece every year to maintain the integrity of the fleet.
