@MatthewCKrueger @JohnDeere I have had really good luck with active yield. If I can’t get it calibrated it’s usually because my moisture is off. I have found the moisture reading is key

We’ve been struggling with the yield data consistency since we changed colors and I found this very helpful guide from @JohnDeere that had these comments about Active Yield vs Manual Calibration. Tons of other great info as well. Link below for the PDF. #harvest24 #JohnDeere

@mnbeetfarmer I havnt noticed anything. Before we put tire boss on we ran the psi to low and got pretty hard on a set of tires. Since putting it on the tire life has looked awesome

@AlexEngelstad No sidewall issues as of yet doing that?

Does anyone run tireboss or similar tire inflation system on their sprayer to reduce tire pressure in field? If so are there noticeable benefits?

@mnbeetfarmer That’s on our New holland front boom with 1600 gallon tank. On the John Deere 1600 I do the same but I can only go down to around 22psi when the tank is empty. It’s not balanced as equal front to rear and rear tires squat more than I’m comfortable with below 22psi

@mnbeetfarmer I’ve run as low as 18psi when my tank is empty. Air them back up to 26-28psi while I’m loading water and then chase it back down while I spray. I air up to 46 on the road for short drives and 64 for longer ones and if I’m carrying some water

@mnbeetfarmer Yes ! It’s a game changer on a sprayer

@LouieDN This is using gen 3 20/20 with implement guidance and a John Deere rate controller for liquid. Check your layers in the map settings to make sure it has what you want to view selected

Does anyone know how to get the JD monitor to map when corn planter is run with Precision planting monitor ?

@ndcornkid I’ve had the top chaffer actuator motor go bad and would do that. It would push the louvers shut when material was flowing over it but when you stop to look they would spring back up. The better the corn the quicker it did it.

@AlexEngelstad What weird is the ground looks great….until it doesn’t.

Need a fresh perspective problem solving combine issue. #s790 overloading right half of sieves. Approx settings Concave 25 sieves 20/14 wind 1280. Seems clean behind combine until hopper get above bubble auger then spits out back end. Clean grain and tailings full of corn.

@NickHorob 🤙🏻🤙🏻

@AlexEngelstad Tentative yes

An odd request… This friendly cat has made outside of our cabin it’s home for the last two months (Perham, MN). It puts up with a lot of craziness from our boys! We have tried to find its owner but we can’t. It’s a neutered male and would make an awesome shop cat (it’s “delivered” a few mice). If anyone in W MN/E ND can make a home for him, send me a DM. My boys want him to go somewhere “fun”!

@MattMbfarm @kyleplattner I agree @MattMbfarm I feel there is a little left to be desired in that area of auto path . It seems like more often than not when we hit resume we grab the headland pass and not the main rows

@kyleplattner can you extend AutoPath lines into headland when starting up the field?

@natevanwechel @MattMbfarm Ya….things have gotten a little wild before

@MattMbfarm That’s just another day at the @AlexEngelstad farm.

@MattMbfarm Ours don’t have efi engines but I think if they did that would help a lot

@MattMbfarm No it’s never been an issue that I know of, I asked the hired man that uses them the most and he said the only issues is the engine at the beginning on the year and a random belt roller will lock up but isn’t very often

Anyone have any experience good or bad with one of these? Fertilizer Field loader.

@MattMbfarm As long as it’s somewhat firm and level they get around pretty good

@AlexEngelstad Moving around the field is fine in the spring?

@farmerdan97 @Nutra_Boss for sure! Tons of acres on ours without any issues 👌

What are some good Y drops?

@corn_porkNbeans Two

@corn_porkNbeans We used to Lorrich hopper bins that were not getting used anymore and cut the tops off, then built it all above ground

Anyone buried a wagon or two for a pit? Do’s don’ts?They look awfully attractive compared to the price of a built pit. #agtwitter
