I've always been told with the assumption it was correct that a bar tread tire run in reverse fashion held its line on a slope better than running it forward direction. We run all our side dump carts with bar tread in reverse. Wonder if you had ever heard that reasoning before.
I have ...but then I've heard they plug with mud worse - something about the way the bar flexing the rubber sheds the stuck on mud ... back in the 90s they told guys that it wore longer ...who knows if there's any truth to any of it
Excellent project! It would be interesting to see a cost comparison once done, of buying the original planter, building this one vs just buying a new similar 1745 (or whatever is most comparable). Then maybe or maybe not, the time factored in of putting together the plan, ordering, sourcing, and putting together the puzzle. Keep up the great work, it will be time to be planting before we know it!
Thank you! .... this is just a second planter (the small planter) ... the big (main) planter is a 16/31 .... we plan to cover about 40 to 60 acres a day with this planter is all ...usually planting goes on 7 to 10 days today - it will greatly help on smaller fields and places like that ... being a high speed toolbar - should help productivity levels
It sure is! Thank you for the compliment ... I'm ready for spring - but otherwise good ... I've got a good rant video coming up, you'll have to watch for it 😋
I need to do something for row unit tillage.... not sure what to do yet ..ultimately I'd like air adjust residue managers - but time we add the compressor and everything needed it's quite a bit of money ... the planters just going to run soybeans this upcoming year - so I don't know quite what to do - possible a coulter with a ripple blade only and no residue managers (?) ...
@@Blackearthexcavationandtiling As a zero till guy, row cleaners are just in the way, and they wrap up. After planting, I put on the dawn roller crimpers and actually use the planter to terminate with the row units serving as weight, out of the ground. Once I went to 30/90 CTF, my 60’ roller crimper became obsolete. It’s for sale. Nothing OEM works for me. Are you putting a 6000 on the planter and the planter and a steerable hitch?
Innner plants? You are going outside the box! I love it. I just did 20” across the whole farm. It seems like the perfect compromise, and the corn rows close off quicker as well.
24 days until the first day of spring. Hope you having a great day
I'm ready! Tired of winter! Hope all is well - good to hear from you!
Looks great!! Enjoy watching your channel.
Thanks very much!

Thanks very much! I sincerely appreciate it
That is sure coming along Nice! You are good at explaining, and teaching things very well. Looking forward to seeing her making dust!
Thank you very much for the compliment! I'm excited for spring ☺️
What is the name of your other channel name ?
The Fed Up Farmer
Looking good!
What tractor is going on the front of the new planter?
Looking forward to seeing it in the field.
Thank you very much - I appreciate it! .... planning just to use the 8R280 to pull it, since it has the appreciate software and hydraulics ....
It's looking damn good! Be a nice planter to run.
Thank you very much!!
Where is the pink tricycle going to be mounted?😂
Nice clean build so far.👍
Haha - my daughter likes to help 😂 ... thanks very much!
How you lift the inner rows when you are planting corn? Or you just leave them down without seed?
There is a lock out arm on the side that holds them up, so they are disengaged from the ground... thansk for watching and for askign!
I know you like to trade equipment often but that's going to be a hard one to get rid of.
Hopefully I never sell this one
This is the one I have been waiting for great work keep it up 👍🏻
Thank you very much - I sincerely appreciate the compliment 😊
Always impressed with your level of detail….
Thanks very much!
Looks great. But will 8 rows cover enough real estate in a day to get the crop in, In a timely manner?

@@Blackearthexcavationandtiling Makes sense now. Couldn't imagine you going to the field with less than a 12 row corn planter.
Hell of a under taking, Seems to be coming together. cheers pal, hope all is well. Considering the state of it all. ss&gb
It sure is! Thank you for the compliment ... I'm ready for spring - but otherwise good ... I've got a good rant video coming up, you'll have to watch for it 😋
@@Blackearthexcavationandtiling LOL. I'll keep an eye.
GREAT VIDEO!!! Thank you
Thank you very much!!
You might’ve covered this but when planting corn is there a way to lift the inter plant units?
There is! ...there are lock ups on the innerplant rows ...
@@Blackearthexcavationandtiling oh okay I figured there was I was just curious how it worked
Thanks!
Looks better than the one they build.
Thank you very much 😊
Looking great. Impressive progress.
Thanks very much
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Planning on not running row cleaners?

We have the Martin's pin style really happy with them
@@thomasrohloff3418 Martin makes some really good row cleaners!
